actually the origin of halloween is european, people would put food outside for the dead and such, then it went to america and got big there, while the tradition just died here. now the shops have started taking over the american halloween, with decorations and stuff, and there are some halloween parties every year, but kids dressing up is pretty rare.
we dress up and collect candy on another day, somewhere in january. we go in groups of three, dressed up as the three kings who went to see baby jesus, and go from door to door to sing a song and get some money or candy. we also eat a cake with a bean hidden in it, the one who gets the bean is king for a day.
