As September begins we should not dwell on the end of summer, but instead the beginning of a new season. If you're anything like me, you love when the air gets a little cooler and crisper, when fall decorations start filling stores, and marking the days off your calendar until Christmas (which is the best holidays let's be real). As much as I love summer (I'm slowly accepting my paler form again), I am able to appreciate fall and all it has to offer.

1. Football

Football. 'MERICA. Hell yeah. Americans favorite reason to cooking an abundance of food and spend the weekends sitting in front of the TV.

2. Weather

Not too hot and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket.

3. Cuddle weather

You can finally share personal space with another person and not get sweaty!!!!

4. Leaves

Is there a more beautiful sight than an abundance of colored leaves covering the ground? I think not.

5. Sweaters

BRING ON THE COMFY CLOTHES!

6. Dressing like a bum

The colder weather is the perfect excuse to wear sweats every day and disguise yourself as a hobo.

7. Halloween

Tis the season to watch Hocus Pocus a million times. And what’s better than a holiday that lets you dress up and eat tons of candy?

8. Thanksgiving

Food. Enough said.

9. Pumpkin everything

Pumpkin patches, pumpkin carving, pumpkin scented candles and we can't forget pumpkin spice lattes.

10. Baking

There just something about fall that makes baking a million times more enjoyable. My heart and my tummy are happy.

“Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.”
