1444, A.H./2022, C.E.: the Streets of Riyadh, KSA were riddled with Morons in Costumes depicting Celebratory-Motifs commemorating the `Īd/Celebration of ash-Shaytān/Satan. Of course, by that I mean Halloween. Also, equally, Motifs depicting Christmas (as I call Skirkmas) are present there as well. Now, obviously, being that Saudi Arabia governmentally presides over the Maintanance of the 2 Most-Sacred Spaces on the Planet: Makkah & al-Madīnah…how/why is Halloween&Christmas even allowed to be “celebrated” via KSA in the 1st-Place?!!! Like…where are all these “Persons-Of-Knowledge”, “`Ulamā’/Scholars”, “Tullāb/Students”, “Du`āt/Promoters”, where’s SPUBS/SalafiPublications, etc. calling against the Whims of the Saudi-Government inacting Practices which by default oppose al-`Aqīdat-al-Islāmiyyah/Islāmic-Theology?!!!
In the Spirit of “70-Excuses” (an Islāmic-Clause towards those whom may be Ignorant about something or in the Interest of covering the Faults of Others): I’m going to simply take the Liberty of actually relating the Tārikh/History of Halloween, just in case there’s Muslims whom actually celebrate it don’t know about its Origins…I’ll address Shirkmas later.
Halloween:
Originally a Celtic-Holiday (from the Ancient-Religion of Druidism). This celebration commemorated the arrival of Autumn&Winter and/or transition from Autumn2Winter-Its Name originally known as Samhain, which used to begin on the Night of October 31st. According to the Druids: the “Spirits” of those whom died the Previous-Year were roaming the Earth on This-Day. In order to appease these “Lost-Souls” the Druids would make Sacrificial-Offerings: things like food, gifts, etc. were thought to please the Dead. Even Humans&Animals were sacrificed on This-Day, as to “protect” the Living from the Harm of the Dead. Clearly, we as Muslims know that it’s literally from the Waswās/Deception of ash-Shaytān/Satan, to attempt convincing us that the Dead can either harm or benefit the Living. Large-Bonfires were also part of the General-Festivities.
By the End of the 1st-Century, C.E. the Roman-Empire swept across Europe, even to the British-Isles, the Home of the Druid-Celts. As a Result, the Romans began to emulate Religious-Rituals/Festivals of its Conquered-Peoples. When Christianity became the Dominant-Religion in Europe, the Catholic-Church would often “Christianize” Pagan-Holidays, in order to satisfy their Newly-Converted/Formerly-Pagan Constituents…Samhain was literally no different. In 835 C.E., Pope Gregory IV changed the Name of Samhain to “All-Saint’s Day”. It was later changed to “All-Souls Day”, in 998 C.E., and would later be change to Allhallows-Day or “Hallowmas”, and finally to “Halloween”. The night before Halloween was named “Hallows-Eve”.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.35, V.22; 114; Encyclopedia Britannica)
Now that you’ve the Tārikh of Halloween, let’s get back to the Meat of the Subject. How/why is something as Demonic/Satanic, Shirk/Association-Based, Paganistic, etc. ever tolerated via the Land of the Ka`bah, or as Salafīs like to pontificate/claim “Land of Tawhīd/Islāmic-Monotheism”?!!! Where da Fuck is da Tawhīd Fellas?!!! #IllWait Because what I see is Shirk-Shirk rite about now. The Irony is that via Saudi Arabia you can get arrested, executed, etc. for Things less serious than celebrating the Evil-Legacy of ash-Shaytān. Make that Goofy-Shit Make Sense.

Christmas/Shirkmas:
(The Irony though) Mawlid (Celebration of the Birth-Of-Muhammad [Peace be upon them]) is banned via Saudi Arabia, but Christmas (Celebration of the Birth of Jesus-Christ [Peace be upon them]) is recognized, when Christmas & Mawlid are literally the Same-Type/Kind of Holiday. How is it that the KSA/Saudi-Government make Concessions for a Holiday which opposes Islāmic-Theology, but condemns a Holiday which is directly patterned after the Previous-Holiday which has been co-signed?!!! Make that Goofy-Shit make Sense.
For More-Info. regarding the Usūl/Origins of both Christmas & Mawlid:

Allah states: “Have you seen those whom take their Desires as their God? Are you then their Enabler.?”.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.25, V.43)
Serious-Question: How much longer are People going to be on their Knees for these Niggas, being their Groupies, etc.?!!! It’s literally Mahrūm/Islāmically-Prohibited to be a Groupie, as Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “Don’t be a Dick-Rider.”.
(at-Tirmidhī)
Who pays them to be the Groupies of These-Niggas?!!!
