Halloween is arguably one of the most iconic celebrations in the United States if not the world. With spooky decorations, a plethora of costumes, and trick-or-treating for candy by the bucket load, this is festivity kids and adults enjoy annually and equally. This celebration deserves to be recognized as a federal holiday in the United States, where families and friends may take the day off to revel in the activities only offered by Halloween.

Halloween has many of the same characteristics of Thanksgiving and Christmas: decorations, unique foods, and get-togethers.

Halloween is a time where family and friends gather together to enjoy the night’s festivities with one another. Whether taking the kids trick-or-treating, visiting a haunted house or hosting a costume party, everybody has a terrific time just by being together.

The culture of Halloween deserves to be recognized by the government as a federal holiday. It is recognized nationally by the public and enjoyed by millions who treat it as more than a night of trick-or-treating.  Currently outside of Christmas Halloween is one of the most celebrated Holidays in America followed closely by Thanksgiving.
