Hopefully we all have learned that there are twelve months in a year. I'm sure we could argue for hours about which season or month is the best. My personal favorite is October, and no one will ever be able to change my mind.
1. It finally starts to feel like Fall.
Or Autumn if you're fancy.
It'll finally be cold enough that I can wear actual pants after four months of wearing shorts every day. Okay, I lied. I won't be wearing actual pants, I'll be wearing leggings. Semantics.
2. Leaf piles.
It's Fall, leaves fall, it all makes perfect sense. Now you can rake those leaves into a giant pile and jump into them like the six year old you really are on the inside.
3. Halloween.
Do I really need to explain this one? I do? Alright. Halloween is the one day of the year when you can dress any sort of way that you want and no one will judge you. Except if you're naked... don't do that.
4. Cold weather, hot drinks.
Sweaters and hot chocolate are a pretty perfect combination. The weather isn't quite cold enough to be annoying, but cool enough to be super pleasant while wearing a jacket.5. Horror movie marathons.
There are always multiple channels that host horror marathons during October like ABC or AMC. You could watch "Scream" 1-4, "Leprechaun" 1-7, "Halloween" 1-7, whatever suits your fancy. I personally enjoy the "so bad it's funny" type of scary movies.6. Your favorite TV shows do Halloween specials.
When I was a kid, I always got so excited when my favorite Disney or Nickelodeon shows did any kind of holiday special. The Halloween ones were always my favorite.
7. Nostalgic Halloween movies are always playing.
Who doesn't watch "Hocus Pocus" every year? I know you do. This is a safe place, you don't have to lie.
8. My birthday is in October.
Yes, I know this reason is selfish. But it just makes my love of October even stronger.
I'd say that ghost is my spirit animal.
