Why Is Halloween Starting So Early Everywhere?
You walk into HomeGoods for a candle, maybe a throw pillow, and suddenly you are surrounded by ceramic ghosts, velvet pumpkins, skeleton mugs, black cats, haunted village houses, and one very smug witch holding a sign that says “Boo Y’all.” and don't forget the buttler holding a big silver dish for candy, when you just don't feel like peopling.
