When Is The Right Time To Start This Holiday
I was out and about this weekend, and it seems to be Halloween time. Now my question is, is it too early to start? Now it really is only two and a half months away but it kind of feels early to me. I do know that Christmas decorations come out earlier and earlier every year, but for the most part that is for the people who participate in craft shows for Christmas. But, is it really Halloween Time?
It’s Halloween Time – Here Are Some Fun Facts About It
Halloween time is really for a lot of people their favorite holiday of all. I’ve seen several people in my neighborhood who already have Halloween decorations out. I can’t say a lot about that, I’m the same person who puts up his Christmas decorations some years before Halloween.
These are some fun facts about Halloween and how we celebrate it.
*More than 65% of Americans typically plan to hand out candy for Halloween each year.
*Candy sales alone are expected to be more than $3 billion.
*Americans eat an average of about 12 pounds of chocolate per year, a lot of it in October.
*Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are the most sold candy at Halloween. It’s the most popular Halloween candy in 18 states.
According to Gourmet Gift Baskets, Americans purchase nearly 600 million pounds of candy each year for Halloween! That’s 24 pounds of candy per American per year, approximately 16 billion fun-size Snickers bars, or 158 trillion individual candy corn kernels! That’s a lot of Candy.
Halloween Time Is Not Just For Kids
So many adults love Halloween time just as much as the kids. Adults will spend on average $108 on Halloween. The breakdown of those average costs per household: Candy: $31.93. Decorations: $34.76. Now keep in mind that’s an average. Halloween is one of the oldest holidays and nearly a billion-dollar industry annually. So, it seems that we love Halloween Time.
