Well OK. At least you're not a computer geek. But I've read your posts on muscle fiber and physics. Maybe you're a medical geek?
I'll explain Dec 25 = Oct 31 a little later tonight. Once more people weigh in.

Just because I get it and found it extremely hilarious and decided to explain it to my friends does NOT make me a geek. It just means I like math, A LOT!

The difference is that people who are geeks generally like math, but those who like math are not necessarily geeks. I fall into the latter of the two categories.

Perhaps we need a working definition of geek. Please note my disclaimer: I am not at all disfavorable to geeks nor do I use the term to any degree of derogatoriness.
According to Merriam-Webster, it's:
Main Entry: geek
Pronunciation: 'gEk
Function: noun
Etymology: probably from English dialect geek, geck fool, from Low German geck, from Middle Low German
1 : a carnival performer often billed as a wild man whose act usually includes biting the head off a live chicken or snake
2 : a person often of an intellectual bent who is disliked
3 : an enthusiast or expert especially in a technological field or activity <computer geek>
- geek·dom /'gEk-d&m/ noun
- geek·i·ness noun
- geeky /'gE-kE/ adjective
So, if we are to consider math a "technological field," then you'd be a geek. I guess it's not specifically technological, so I suppose I'll agree with you... you're probably not a geek. Unless you bite the heads off chickens at the freakshow, that is. 
Which makes me wonder, does posting the definition of a geek in and of itself make one a geek??? ................I say no. I think y'all should agree with me.

A geek is not defined by his/her intellectual prowess. That goes without saying. A geek is a descriptor as a way of a fashion statement, isn't it?

OK here is the answer
Why do programmers get Christmas and Halloween confused?
Because Dec 25 = Oct 31
Dec is short for decimal or base ten (2 tens plus 5 = 25 (base ten))
Oct is short for Octal or base 8 (3 eights plus 1 = 25 (base ten))
See it was easy.

And now one for the 'normal' people
One time, I had insomnia, so I went to take some sleeping pills, but I didn't want to wake them up.

And here's a joke for us normal blokes!
There was a barber that thought that he should share his faith with his customers more than he had
been doing lately. So the next morning when the sun came up and the barber got up out of bed he said,
"Today I am going to witness to the first man that walks through my door."
Soon after he opened his shop the first man came in and said, "I want a shave!" The barber said,
"Sure, just sit in the seat and I'll be with you in a moment." The barber went in the back and prayed a
quick desperate prayer saying, "God, the first customer came in and I'm going to witness to him.
So give me the wisdom to know just the right thing to say to him. Amen."
Then quickly the barber came out with his razor knife in one hand and a Bible in the other while saying
"Good morning sir. I have a question for you... Are you ready to die?"
