Halloween is not just jollly at your house, but around the world. In fact, it may be that Trick-or-Treat traditions come from Northern Europe; that is the way We Rhinos figure it. After all, the Vikings would sail off and pillage England, and come home with nice new treats for the family.
FYI, in the 10th century there were no ‘countries’ as We know them today, just lots of land and various gangs holding on to them for dear life. The English, who met a lot of Vikings, called them all ‘Nordbo’, which meant pirates. Truly.
We Rhinos don’t suggest that our Readers get carried away if you go “Nordbo”. Play nice.

Far be it from me to disagree with a Rhino, but it is my understanding that it was the word Viking that meant Pirate in Old English, etc., and Nordbo is a modern Scandinavia term meaning Norsemen/ Northmen.
In any case, it was apparently no fun to have the vikings show up for some involuntary trick-or-treat. Talk about parties getting out of hand!
