Surely ritual is <b>something done consistently for no apparent real reason</b> year in year out or at some other regular interval. I would count giving Easter eggs as a ritual, because there's no personal gain. 'Trick or Treat'-ing I wouldn't becasue, although it's done yearly and in the same manner each time, it's for personal gain*.

Bonfire night (Nov 5th in UK) is a ritual for many.





*Although, as discussed before the practice of going from house to house on Halloween does date back hundreds of years.
