Confront her insanity now. It will only get worse if you embolden her.

Easy. Relate to her that Pope Boniface IV established an anniversary dedicated to the Virgin Mary and the martyrs when he consecrated the Pantheon on May 13, ... this Christian feast day was moved to November 1 from May 13 by Pope Gregory III in the eighth century in order to mark the dedication of the All Saints Chapel in Rome, making November 1 as All Saints Day and October 31 as All Hallows' Eve ... the evening before All Hallow's Day (All Saint's Day). Initially this change of date only applied to the diocese of Rome, but was extended to the rest of Western Christianity a century later by Pope Gregory IV in an effort to standardize liturgical worship. It was instituted by the Church to honor all the saints, known and unknown, and, according to Urban IV, to supply any deficiencies in the faithful's celebration of saints' feasts during the year. It's "coincidental" that there was a pagan holiday on this day (much like the "day Christ was born") but really it was the Christian adapataion that made the holiday popular.
After you say this, reaffirm that this is the reason why she has a small brain ... because things such as facts, when it comes to issues such as Halloween, don't agree with what she has going on in her brain.
