In the 1903 film, The Night Before Christmas, the character of Jack Skellington from Halloween Towns find the Christmas town, but he doesn't understand the concept.
Well, Twelfth Night is the night of 6th January (Epiphany), which is traditionally the end of Christmastide. The first day of Christmas is Christmas Day, with the first night being that night (after the day). If you count forward you find the Twelfth Day is the 5th of January, with Twelfth Night being the night at the end of that day, being the night before Epiphany. People used to celebrate things a lot on the nights before them, like having Midnight Mass on the night before Christmas Day, or the Easter Vigil on the night before Easter, or Halloween (All Hallow's Eve) on the night before All Saint's Day (All Hallow's Day). The Twelve Days of Christmas are Christmastide, when people used to take a holiday and party for 12 days. It's bad luck to leave your decorations up after Twelfth Night.

Actually all-Hallows-Mass, the feast (Mass being religious term as in Christmas, etc)of All Saints- November the first- so Halloween is the night before. Halloween is all-Hallows-Eve in a contracted form. My Dad, who hated the holiday (because of the vandalism angle alone) oddly died on Halloween. Almosrt everybody in our famikly passed on on a holiday- Aunt Ruth-Memorial Day, Dad,Halloween,etc He even joked about the (Holiday express). So, far, thankfully, nobody on Christmas!
A store will usually decide its Christmas program once Halloween has passed. Some malls even being putting up Christmas decorations as soon as the Halloween decorations have been taken down.
Silent night is about jesus being born. Christmas celebrates Jesus. So yes it is.

In "twas the night before Christmas," the word "thistle" likely refers to a prickly plant. In this context, it is used to describe the sound of sleigh bells jingling softly, similar to the rustling sound of a thistle being gently brushed.
he died in after being severally injured from a motorcycle crash on halloween night.
I grew up in Cincinnati and the night before Halloween was always traditionally "penny night" from the 50's and through out the 70's. It may have been called that in only some neighborhoods. I grew up downtown. Now downtown is called Over the Rhine. We used to go out the night before Halloween knocking on doors, shouting "Penny Night". We would have our bags filled with all sorts of coinage and sometimes dollar bills as well.
One holiday is a celebration of the devil, and the other celebrates the birth of Christ. As a matter of fact Halloween started by Pilgrims who was convinced that if they dressed up like scary monsters and other spirits, they could scare evil spirits away. Christmas is more of a historical truth that is preach today about Jesus Christ being born. People dress in costumes on Halloween and on Christmas people are in their pj's. Plus you get candy on Halloween, and presents on Christmas.
Going door to door for candy is an US American tradition (that seems to be being exported commercially). the Event happens on the night of Halloween which is ALWAYS October 31.
Halloween typically falls after Christmas in terms of spending, ranking as the second largest commercial holiday in the US. While Christmas spending remains the highest, Halloween spending has been steadily increasing over the years with a focus on costumes, decorations, candy, and parties.
