Self restraint is important, or you will be crushed by Bacchus.
Dionysos (Διόνυσος) the god of wine, madness, ecstasy, fertility, grapes and joy. Aka human smasher.

Bereaved, distressed or injured, once upon a time wine, the grape, was the ONLY remedy known! Pagan equinox festivals await the return of the grape of Dionysus/Bacchus!
Then his story got recycled as 'Moses', 'Joseph' and 'Jesus', no sh*t!

Yes much of the bible is plagiarized from older myths. And the "timing" (sry english fails me here) of the holidays is to put them directly over pagan holidays. Christmas for example is indeed the rebirth of light. It doesnt even make sense for Jesus to have been born during the middle of the winter according to the scriptures. (Even according to hardcore christians.)
Well now we seem to have a new big religion on the block. Boundless materialism/consumerism. And in that regard it doesnt matter much anymore if its Samhain that is commercialized as Halloween, or if its Yule/Saturnalia that is commercialized as Christmas/Silverster.
