Do you mean "not a common thing" because it is not
celebrated internationally, i.e. outside of the US and a
few other countries? Otherwise, it seems pretty common
here, although the continuing earliness of Christmas
decorating will likely overcome it eventually.
I did not realize that Halloween celeration was spotty over the
globe.

My comment was in response to MvV's meme post.

Thanks. Being on a BBS I did not see the meme but I
suspected that was what it was about.
I might be mistaken, but I think it is mostly a North
American celebration.
One year our immediate next door neighbours moved away and
a couple from Europe moved in (I really don't know where
from), we knocked on their door and yelled "Trick or
Treat!" and they looked so confused. We (my sister & I)
explained how it worked and they gave us something sweet
from their kitchen and we went on our way. The next year
they opened the door, yelled "We're not participating this
year!" and slammed the door in our faces.
