Why Christmas?

Because people tend to remember what they did on Christmas, so the whole "seeing your regret" thing works a whole lot better.

Also, it can't be any other day, because there's no ghost of the April 14th past.

few other holidays are both sacred and secular.

I volunteer as tribute under the stipulation that it is done via mortal combat and that I'll be giving it my all. If I survive well regardless we have a ghost.

I think of so many days of visiting regrets, but I do take your point.
