Halloween = Christmas?

Question

As long as we're sharing nerdy math jokes, Mr. "square root of 69 equals 8 something", here's another, less dirty one.

Did you know that Halloween = Christmas?

This is because OCT 31 = DEC 25.

(hint, what's another name for writing a number in base 8? base 10?)

Answer 1

Yes it does, at least in mathematical terms.

Good one!
