Who said she made it?
Do some research.

It was probably all the other ponies who just decided to celebrate the end of eternal night.

Celestia didn't STOP the holiday from forming, either.

It is kind of weird that they celebrated Luna's return in the very same town.... but now she comes back and everyone freaks.
Granted, at her homecoming party she didn't show up in town in Satan's bobsled towed by batwing armored pegasi in the dead of night with lightning blasting all around her and her voice booming like Galadriel on a bender....

^ AWESOME description! Personally, I think that Celestia put her up to that entrance.

@togashi: Maybe she didn't stop them because she's not a tyrant? I'm pretty sure a benevolent dictator wouldn't ban something just because his own feelings are hurt by it.

If you pay attention to want was said you would know Nightmare Night was made when she was on the moon, that's why Luna was trying to change it.
Twi asked Pip if it was he's first Nightmare Night after moving to Ponyville, that means it has been around.

@Togashi Depending on when the holiday started, it might have been rather reasonable. Most likely, the tradition started just after Nightmare Moon had been imprisoned and the populace was still frightened and worried that she might return. So the holiday helped to assuage the fears of ponies while Celestia got everything stable. Then over time, the holiday became partially disconnected from it's meaning while remaining extremely popular. If Celestia had disbanded the holiday after it took root, then she would have had a similar situation to when Luna disbanded it, a lot of unhappy ponies. And a ruler's number one priority is to keep their subjects content, because unhappy subjects are likely to rebel.

Drasvin, that's a lot of conjecture with only fuzzy logic based on Earthly reasoning to back it up. HOWEVER, since there is very little information about this holiday, I have nothing to counter it with. So, for now, I shall concede and withdraw.
