There might have been the odd party with alcohol involved but not so much door to door with the adults, the kids did this. It's maybe different in other parts. Hogmanay was when the door to door was happening

Up where I am it's only recently been Americanised, up till 10/20 years ago they still called it guising and used a neep, now it's trick or treating and a pumpkin, even how kids go door to door has changed

Now Halloween here has become Americanised, it's changed just in the last 20years
