With so much happening in the news today, who would ever think of a new holiday season?

One hurricane after another.

A pandemic that has been changing the way people think, act, eat and shop.

A presidential election that is coming soon and expected by many, whichever the outcome, to be historic.

And coming soon, is the 2020 holiday season.

That includes Halloween in October, and Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday in November.

Will large family gatherings be held on turkey day?

How about going on a buying frenzy the day after?

Should people buy candies for the perennial trick or treaters?

Next comes Christmas.

Experts say the fears of acquiring the virus that has killed more than 2,600 people in the Rio Grande Valley and 200,000 nationwide is impacting

people’s lives, but a home improvement store has already set up a sizeable display of Christmas-related items.

So, are you ready for a new holiday season?
