In this case a Christian version is a Christian version, it means they’re NOT pagan holidays in spite of their history.
Things of abhorrent origin are things of abhorrent origin. A Christian holiday that stole from the pagans is no more or less abhorrent than a surgery stolen from vivisectionists. They’re both good things with abhorrent origins.
Sitting in front a computer doesn’t seem like the placer to be proposing rejecting man made things. If Jesus is in your heart then every day is a holy day. Some days might get some extra rituals, but every day is part of God’s creation, no matter what we or some pagan call it.
The way Halloween is observed by most Christians is practically indistinguishable from how non-Christians observe it. So is it a pagan day that Christians observe or a Christian day that pagans observe? Hint: Pagans were here first.

They're different. Surgeons don't profess that the surgery is dedicated to God as a religious rite or try to tie religious worship into it. Christians who perform the customs of Halloween are insisting that they have "Christianized", made holy, made acceptable to God, the practices and rites of Halloween.

I'm not rejecting man made things. I'm rejecting man made holidays that take away from the real holy days of God.

If Jesus is in your heart AND you let him express himself through you he would observe the very same holy days he created. He would recognize that the customs and rituals associated with Halloween were used to worship false Gods and he would reject them.
