I heard the following from R’ Chaim Segal A”H, Menahel of Mesivta Chaim Berlin (Niftar in 1998):

All yomim tovim are divided Chetzyo L’Hashem and Chetzyo Lachem (half for Hashem (davening and learning) and half to you (eating and drinking). The exception is Yom Kippur which is Kulo L’Hashem. Therefore we have Purim which is the Chetzyo Lachem for Yom Hakipurim!
