Was Halloween a big thing when you were growing up?

As in - did you carve pumpkins/turnips, go Trick or Treating, have themed parties etc?
I can't say I did, or can't recall it being a big deal as it is now for my own teen DCs.

These ones.

Omg that is fabulous!
Thanks so much for the pic.
Neeps/swedes/turnips are definitely the way forward.
Pumpkins can get in the bin!
The next time I come across a decent sized one I'm going to do this 😂
