MODERATORS
Not a big thing here in Sweden either, although shops do their best to promote it. It gets a little mixed up with "Allahelgona" (all saints day) which is close. Halloween is on the 31st of Oct iirc, and Allahelgonahelgen is on the first Saturday after the 31st of Oct. On allahelgona you're supposed to remember your dead, so a lot of people visit graveyards and put our candles. It's usually very beautiful.
