October is here, which means it is now time to embrace pumpkin spice and scary movies with open arms. While breaking out your favorite cardigans and searching for haunted houses can be a fun thing to look forward to after living in a hot dorm for the latter end of the summer, why is the Halloween season so exaggerated? Is it actually worth being placed above other holidays? Check out the following list if you too are over the Halloween hype.

1. The season to celebrate is too long

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE dragging out a holiday as much as possible. For some reason, however, it's almost as if it is acceptable for Halloween and not other holidays. For example, a lot of people begin the Halloween festivities as soon as September rolls around, creating two whole months of Halloween. Meanwhile, many would argue that any signs of Christmas/winter holiday decor before Black Friday is "too soon." If society is going to put a time restraint on the window of time to celebrate other holidays, Halloween can join in.
