Can you believe it? Halloween is just around the corner and pumpkins are on almost every corner.
I wonder which costume will be the most popular this year. According to the National Retail Foundation “more than 179 million Americans plan to partake in Halloween festivities (in 2017), up from 171 million last year, spending is slated to reach a record high in survey history.
This year, consumers are expected to spend $9.1 billion, up from $8.4 billion in 2016. The top costume for children is reported to be an action hero or superhero, while the top pick for adults is a witch. Pets will not be left behind, with 10 percent of consumers dressing their pet as a pumpkin”.
