the holiday that begins around halloween, and continues on till the end of the year. -it is made up of two phases, the first phase is devoted to more earthly pursuits, while the second revolves around the more spiritual. the second phase now has morphed from worship of a deity and the spiritual, to worship of currency and earthly goods.
