Can you explain what you mean by that?

Yeah. Spooky season is a relatively new term. It used to be Haloween and later Cristmas. Peopele would spend a lot on those holidays, but not enough, according to big store chains, so now you have "Spooky season" from Sep to Dec and then straight to two months of Christmas. Effectively boosting sales from Sep to Jan, which is almost half a year. Brb need to go get more decor and presents.
