Halloween is only one day

People that don’t like Christmas are grinches and scrooges but what do we call people that don’t like Halloween?

I agree, but americans seem to flock to it really hard. Perhaps american consumerism prevents them from enjoying one-day national and religious holidays? However, who are we to try and ban a cultural tradition, even if we don't like it? A curious thing to ponder.
You can celebrate it any way you want and that’s the fun. There are a few established traditions but the rest is a free for all.

Edit: I think, also, that people like Halloween because it is a distraction from the “political season” before Election Day in America early November. This is crunch time for politicians, and I had like 5 spam texts all about it yesterday.

Just as Ethan Ralph is more than a drunk little drug addict, Halloween is MUCH more than a day.
 
It's not even a day. Hallowe'en is, properly, "All Hallows' Even", ie. "every saint's evening", the evening before All Hallows' Day. Depending on how tightly you scope the term "evening", Halloween is arguably somewhere around 6 to 12 hours.
If you take it as the vigil for All Saints, it's about 30 hours long for liturgical purposes similar to Sunday.

yeah and christmas is just a pagan holiday blah blah, doesn't matter, holidays are for enjoying Your Way(TM) and getting super technical about it is missing the point. all holidays are just an excuse to do some fun shit. post some skeleton memes. watch some scary movies with your friends. eat a bunch of candy and give yourself the beetus. life is what you make of it.

Don't even celebrate it and it's the first time I've decorated my avatar in like 15 years.

lmao nice
