10. Stores finally start stocking all of the holiday aisles.

Fall may be the shortest season, but the other eight months are just a pre-game for the real deal. Some may think it's overrated, but most people know the truth. So for all of those fall lovers out there, light your apple cinnamon candles, button up your burnt orange peacoat, kick back with your hot gingerbread latte, and enjoy the most wonderful time of the year. Happy fall, ya'll.
