    September is Spooky season, I’m in favor of annexing August as well and pushing further into November to drive Christmas back.

    If Christmas can start in October, Halloween can start in August.

    Let all holidays start 2 months early.

    Human: “Hey, Phil. How long is winter?”

    Groundhog: “It’s December.”

      It’s legitimately early fall on the Maine coast, been hitting low 50s/high 40s at night, dry as a bone and hardly topping 70 during the day. I’m wearing a hoodie in the middle of the day, albeit it’s cloudy, and closing the doors and windows before bed. It’s fucking awesome.

    It’s pre-Halloween - the period starting in August when you buy Halloween candy to eat ahead of time before going back on the afternoon of Oct 31st to buy stale replacement candy to hand out.
