Perhaps the majority of people are still accustomed to

Today's "China Times" published sportsgirl an article for my the "rectification of names", entitled <Christmas is Christmas? >, Summed up in the past similar view, I hope you use "Christmas" and "Halloween," habit "Times Square."
There is a Swedish student questioned "holy" Christmas Day appropriateness. He said that if the birth of Jesus is called Christmas, the birthday of Sakyamuni Buddha, then what is? What else should the birthday of Prophet sages called? I know what to say, that he was really yes. Imagine if Christmas is called Christmas, not that Domination Jesus, Jesus is the only default saints?
On the etymology of the terms, Halloween stands for All Hallow Even, meaning "All Saints Night", so to be translated as "Halloween" sportsgirl is appropriate. all are "all", "Wan" word with Chinese table "many" of interlinked. hallow and holy origin, the ancient meaning of "saints." even the original meaning is "night", evening "night" is even noun suffix sportsgirl ing together, now eve "Eve" is this even variants. This prospective, Halloween is "All sportsgirl Saints Night", sportsgirl which is "Halloween."
In fact, the "Halloween" should be All Saints' Day, the Christian festival Halloween next day on November 1. Funny people celebrate Halloween on October 31 evening, or can be translated as "Halloween." But Christmas Eve most people think, "Christmas Eve" too hard to pronounce, it is often a little "Christmas Night", so Halloween may also wish to follow this example, called "Halloween", just etymology also consistent with the foregoing.
But language is not logical nor is mathematics, unexpected move not common cards sometimes have, "convention" and often is one of the great power of direction about language. New York's Times Square from the "New York Times" (The New York Times), to be translated into "Times Square" is appropriate, then Chinese are often mistaken for "Times Square", is still difficult to completely reversed.
Perhaps the majority of people are still accustomed to "Christmas", "Halloween" is called. Both Strictly speaking sportsgirl this is not appropriate, but in the language of inertia torrent, like me appeal to the flag, you want to get to the root, upstream of the few who know about it can only be said to be the impossible it!
