In a study entitled "The Super Bowl Baby Boom" which looked to rank what states conceive the most babies during the Super Bowl every year - yes, there's a study for everything - Betway sportsbook (who commissioned the study) uncovered a fun fact about Massachusetts. We collectively conceive the most babies during ______________. I left that blank to build anticipation. Can you guess which holiday fills the blank?

The way they figured out which holidays spawn the most children was quite easy actually: just pick the holiday, go forward about 9 months, take note of the number of births, and move on to the next holiday. It ain't rocket science but it's pretty interesting.

So let's count down the Top 6 Most Baby Conceiving Holidays in Massachusetts - wow, that was definitely not super grammar but you get where we're going.

Massachusetts's Most Baby-Makin' Holidays: #6

Spring Break
Uhhhh... I didn't realize Spring Break was a holiday but the study considered it one so I will too in this case. Also, isn't Spring Break a full week? And it only made #6 just edging out Easter?! Weak.

HALLOWEEN!!!
I mean, how Salem of us. I kind of love that we conceive more babies during Halloween than any other holiday. What a great story to tell your friends someday that you were conceived by a Ninja Turtle and Wednesday Addams... or a roll of toilet paper and (insert politician who is comical to you here). Or.... you get the point but here's a random clown to kill the mood.
