Because a feast was the principle way of celebrating back in the day. We still retain the idea of feasting for Thanksgiving, and to a lesser extent it’s survived for Christmas and even Easter.

For kids today of course, if they are like I was, November 1 is a day to feast on the leftover candy from the night before.
