The difference is that Halloween, isn’t nearly as capitalism infected as Christmas
Depend where. In USA, maybe, but in Poland it’s the christmas that is still resisting while Halloween is 100% cultural hegemony enchroachment and seems to be celebrated mostly by americanized people and retail shops.
Still, i would take it over the incredibly sad and drab Polish All Saints Day since it’s just distilled boredom and sadness, why even other catholic countries like Mexico can have it fun and we are left without even the medieval danse macabre, just the feeling of doom and feeding money to priests.
