Once Fall begins, so does the Holiday season. The stores rotate through their festive holiday decorations. The excitement begins when you walk into The Christmas Tree Shop or Jo-Ann Fabric and it smells like cinnamon. Pumpkins, Scarecrows, candles, and lights fill the stores. Before you know it Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas, and New Year’s each fly by and we all shed a tear as we wait for the next Fall season to approach. Luckily for us, the season is just beginning and there is still so much to look forward to. Fall is by far the best and most exciting season there is and here's why:
Fall Fashion
Combat boots, riding boots, oversized sweaters, cardigans, scarves, jeans. Layering everything. The ability to layer your fall clothes gives you endless outfit options. If you’re anything like me, your closet consists of 80% fall clothing and 20% summer clothing.
Crisp Fall Leaves
Just seeing the leaves change color and fall from the trees makes me the happiest person. There’s nothing more beautiful than walking around campus and seeing vivid colors of orange, red, and yellow all around. Step on the fallen leaves and you can hear the crunch that reminds you that the best time of year is here.
Baking Season
Baking is my hobby. It could be a 90-degree hot summer day and I would want to spend it baking cupcakes or trying a new Pinterest recipe. Once it hits Fall, it becomes acceptable to spend my days in the kitchen baking my heart out.
Apple and Pumpkin Picking
Taking a trip to your local farm or orchards is the best way to spend a beautiful Fall day. Search through and find the apples and pumpkins that catch your eye. Don’t forget to eat some fresh apple cider doughnuts and drink some warm apple cider… and of course take plenty of pictures to remember your fun-filled day.
Bonfires
Picture this: It’s a cool, Fall night. You can hear nothing but crickets. You are sitting around a bonfire in sweatpants and a sweatshirt with good company. You decide to roast marshmallows or even make s’mores and before you know it, you’re going to bed hours later with the smell of bonfire still lingering on your clothes and in your hair.
And THAT is why Fall is, by far, the best season.
