Fall is definitely my favorite season. I do love the summer, but it just gets too hot sometimes, and the winter here in the Northeast is just too cold at other times.

Besides the weather, the festivities that surround autumn are some of my favorites. The following list is of 23 things that I, and we all, are looking forward to this fall.

1. The leaves falling.

2. Pumpkin muffins from Dunkin.

3. Long sleeves and flip flops.

4. The perfect mix between “it’s hot out” and “I’m freezing.”

5. Halloweentown, Twitches, and Freeform's "13 Nights of Halloween" movies.

6. Halloween candy. Who doesn’t love those pumpkin-shaped Reese’s?

7. Columbus Day break and Thanksgiving break.

8. Choosing the perfect mix of creepy and festive for Halloween decorations.

9. Apple cider donuts.

10. Just apple cider (but definitely not hot apple cider).

11. The sound of crunching leaves.

12. Yankee Candle's autumn scents burning throughout the house.

13. Seeing those fake leaves outside of crafts stores.

14. Carving jack-o-lanterns.

15. Baking, but more importantly eating, fall desserts like pumpkin pie and apple crisp.

16. Getting a new wardrobe on Black Friday.

17. Even though it’s a while away, Thanksgiving food.

18. Really artsy pictures from the leaves changing color.

19. Yes, I’ll say it, pumpkin spice lattes.

20. Lazy Sundays and dates with a cozy blanket and your TV.

21. The fireplace gets lit again.

22. So does your TV when football comes back.

23. The best of the fall festivities like apple picking, pumpkin picking, hayrides, cider mills and haunted houses.
