They don't do Halloween here. At least that is what Mary and her friends were told at the first door they knocked on and sang their 'Süßes oder Saures' (trick or treat) song. On All Hallows Day they go to church to remember all the martyrs and saints, that's a lot of people, it takes a while. But when they really have their work cut out is the following day, All Souls Day. The faithful on earth remember the faithful departed who are sitting in purgatory and relying on the faithful on earth to pray hard enough to atone for their minor misdemeanors before they can finally pop up to heaven. Perhaps that is why some prefer to have an early night on Halloween. Despite that Mary and her friends managed to collect sweets to last until next year.
