It's not all that fun but the next widely-celebrated holiday in the US will be Thanksgiving, in late November, and that's usually a two-day family affair including family reunions, big meals, liquor consumption, arguments, violence, etc.---all very depressing stuff. So, folks kind of fortify themselves with Halloween fun.
