Yes a whole lot do. And some here in this thread did mention the assimilation part.

All I said is there is no need to look for these fesitivites as a means to ‘assimilate’.

One will not be any less American if one does not trick or treat.

I never said anything being sinister and those who do it for fun and NOT to do it to ‘assiimilate’ were not who I talked about.

Again, Halloween is not a means of assimilation. You’re living in a country that completely ridden with Halloween on October 31st, schools are celebrating, kids are knocking on your door for candy, costumes are sold out everywhere, etc. Its simply a fun thing to do…just like people celebrate Basant, have mehndis (the roots of which are supposedly Hindu) or any other non-Muslim festivity.

I don’t celebrate it necessarily but I have dressed up my nieces and nephew in the past. No evil demon has reared its ugly head as of yet.
