How early is too early to be thinking about Halloween?

  • Published

Hello September!

It has just turned from summer to autumn and even though we are at the VERY beginning of the season, there's already Halloween decorations on the shelves in some shops like Asda, B&M Bargains and Home Bargains.

But Halloween isn't for a while yet. It's celebrated at the end of October.

So is it too early, even if you're a big fan of spooky season, to be thinking about Halloween?

Have you seen any decorations already? Do you think it's too early for them or is the earlier the better? Let us know what YOU think in the comments below!

What is Halloween?

Halloween takes place on the 31 October every year and is celebrated in lots of different parts of the world.

In some countries, like the USA, Halloween is taken very seriously with big displays, lots of pumpkins and plenty of spooky costumes.

And many homes here in the UK also decide to decorate their houses, both on the outside and the inside.
