Oh, Riss, so they actually let you have Halloween?
You know what's funny, in the eerie sense? That all Christian parties come from Pagan celebrations. I mean... wha?
I wanted to be Snape, but it's too late and I'll get the costume some days later.

The reason most Christian holidays fall on the same days as pagan ones is that way back in the early days of Christianity we troublemaking, stubborn, new-fangled Christians wanted to get every last pagan to convert to worshipping Jesus. So what they did is make a version of a pagan holiday that translated the pagan beliefs into Christian ones.
Even Halloween is an example. Used to call it All Hallow's Eve in reverence of the saints, which is a version of the pagan reverence of the recently deceased. I don't why so many Christians don't allow Halloween when we had already claimed it as our own centuries ago...
