It is with the decimal number system and the octal number system. when you convert 31 (which is the date of Halloween) from octal to decimal it is 25 (which is the date of Christmas).
I heard this one not too long ago myself, I was the only one in the group that got it right away as we just learn octal in class not too long ago
