Subject: RE: Folklore: Seen any Guys this year?
I believe I must be the only American (albiet an irish-American) in this thread!

Incidentally the Guy Fawkes mask from V is a brisk seller here in the USA this year so we will actually have some Guys riunning around on Halloween which just seems WRONG.

Here in Los Angeles, The Mexican Day of The Dead is almost as big as Halloween in my neighorhood but then, we also have a gay pride parade on halloween down Santa Monica Blvd patterned after the greenwhich Village Halloween parade in NYC. Lots of holiday-mixing going on here.

In San Francisco and a few other cities, some people are trying to revive Krampus Night or Krampasnact as another excuse to dress up, party and be naughty. It's the eve before St. Nicholas Day. Is Krampus Night popular in the UK?
