On this side of the pond Trick or Tread has spread to some extent. There's a resistance to Trick Or Treating as it's seen as a foreign import, not British, huff huff rather! In truth, I'm of that opinion. Globalisation has it's place but certain national traditions need protecting. I don't feel that in terms of crossing the pond the same is true of the phenomenon of dressing in costume for Halloween. It just hasn't happened at all other than dressing as a vampire or zombie.
This is were I become a hypocrite. Oh how it would be great to have the chance to dress using Halloween as an excuse. I'd be out there, trying of course to look like this was definitely a once a year thing, strutting my stuff. Them, "So how come you can walk so well in heels?". Me, "Err, can't everyone?".
Them, "You must have spent a bit on getting that look just right". Me, "All off eBay".
Envy, just pure envy.
