Greek Halloween? How would that differ from the American version. I am from Australia, we don't really do it over here.

The Greek people I know always gotta do all the holidays their own way. Heh, its interesting. I am always curious about the goings on in other cultures.

well, for one, the American version is in October on a fixed date - the Greek is usually in February or March, depending on when's Easter (which has a different date each year, something to do with one of the full moons). and it lasts a week.
there are other differences too, but that's mostly it for the Halloween itself (which is called Apokries in greek, in case you were wondering. :-P)

Yeah, I knew about the easter dates, me and my friend Lex were commenting on how far apart our Easter celebrations were this year.

Woo a week of spooky costumes. That sounds like fun.
