Christmukkah to Diwalloween: The confluences can lead to a deeper understanding all round
If the US can have Christmukkah-or even Chrismahanukwanzakah, to include the African-American Kwanzaa-then why not Diwalloween? After all, the day before Diwali is Bhoot Chaturdashi, when lamps are lit to remember ancestors according to one custom and to fend off evil spirits as per other beliefs. That dovetails into the 'original' purpose of the pre- and Christianised Halloween, a night to remember ancestors and saints (hallows).
