Halloween originated in the uk after its idea was passed to us from the Romans.... it was then passed to you. It is still celebrated here very much. DST was first practised by the germans in WW1 closely followed by the UK, except we kept it and most of europe now does not practise it. Sweden also changes the hour I think.

Iceland is the only European country which does not have summer time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Summer_Time
England and Ireland used to change the clock on a different date than the rest of Europe, but now it's the same date in all European countries (but not the same as in the US).

Halloween wasn't celebrated in Germany when I grew up there, but it seems to start to become a tradition there now, coming from America. The same has happened here in Norway, and in Belgium as well (I have a sister there).
