With fall pretty much in full swing, you’re finally allowed to begin saying it’s the holiday season. While a lot of people assume the holiday season focuses mostly on Thanksgiving onward through New Year’s, Halloween is one of the most celebrated holidays in its own right and deserves its own time to shine.
