In late October about 5 or 6 years ago, a jouralist on one of the major TV networks announcerd that the "great American custon of Halloween wss now being widely celebrated in France". Apparently this newsman hadn't known that the celebration of Halloween was brough to the U.S. by Irish immigrasnts who made it "an American custom".
