A lot of people do this, to my knowledge, although most of the time they remember October for Halloween and nothing more.
For sports fans, it's Super Bowl playoffs month. For non-sports lovers, well, there's the new fall TV season to look forward to (though that may have been delayed till January because of coronabug). For those who follow politics, there's the electoral debates, and the famous "October surprise"-- and the recent announcement about President Trump's health certainly qualifies.
