I don't think that the issue is weather they have halloween or not, it would just be vocabulary for fun anyway.
Okay, I haven't added anything to this forever, so I better do something.

Uses
The most common way this form is used is to link sentences together. All the verbs are in the て Form, with the last verb showing the tense and mood. You can't just stack sentences ontop of each other like in english, you need to use the て Form.
私は学校に行って、昼ご飯を食べて、手紙を書いた。
わたしわがっこうにいって、ひるごはんをたべて、てがみをかいた。
Watashi wa gakkou ni itte, hirugohan wo tabete, tegami o kaita.
I went to school, ate lunch, and wrote a letter.
Notice that all the verbs are in the て Form up until the last one. By itself, て Form has no politeness or tense, all that is shown by the final verb. So, you have to wait till the end of the sentence to know if they will do this or if they did it.
The "and" used in english before the last part of the long sentence is not used in Japanese.
Although the て Form has not tense of politeness, it can be in affimrative of negative. To make it in this way, take the final い off of a verb in its non-polite negative form, and add くて。
かう - かわない - かわなくて
たべる - たべて - たべなくて
およぐ - およがない - およがなくて
Example:
猫は外に行って、犬を見なくて、鳥を食べて、水を飲まなくて、魚を食べました。
ねこわそとにいって、いぬをみなくて、とりをたべて、みずをのまなくて、さかなをたべます。
