Welcome Fall, we greet you warmly. Thank you for being the best season of the year. Not only are you a relief to the painstakingly hot summer that us Nevadan’s face, but also you are the ultimate pregame to the next few months of excitement that face us. Let's look at what is in store for us since Fall has officially arrived.
September: the perfect transition month.
As we bid adieu to the summer, the warm yet pleasant September breezes greet us with a hug. We finally see a change in scenery. Kids get back into swing of school, families back into their busy routines, and the excitement of the oncoming holidays are at an all-time high for everyone. Even famous food chains, such as Dunkin’ Doughnuts, Einstein’s and other fast food chains accommodate to the cheer, whipping up their best impression of the season. The one that takes the cake however has to be the Starbucks coveted Pumpkin Spice Latte, which is an aphrodisiac for the fall obsessed soul. As the leaves on the trees shift from green to a beautiful array of reds, oranges, yellows, and brown, we as humans prepare for the next few months of fun.
October: It only gets better from here.
If you get a kick out of September, October is sure to please you with its promise for food, fun, and fright. The month of Halloween as I like to call it. Not only does Disney channel replay classics such as Halloween town, Nightmare Before Christmas, and Hocus Pocus but you can almost walk into any store and see that their candy aisle has been transformed into a discount plethora of seasonally decorated candies. Not only do you get to run around almost all month scaring your family and friends and dressing up for fun but you can splurge on candy while doing it, and not a judgement awaits you.
November: Realizing all this fun needs some recognition.
Overlooking the fact that in November the most anticipated election of all time, that will most likely end in a world wide apocalypse is going to be occuring, if we do live to see the next day we speed towards one of the greatest excuses to get fat with your family: Thanksgiving Day. After spending a month shoving candy down your throat what better way to commemorate your thanks than eating more food. Columbus sailed the ocean blue in fourteen ninety… yada yada yada…. we just want to dig into pie, turkey smothered in gravy, and big piles of mashed potatoes with the Macy’s day parade glaring in the background. What a fabulous holiday dedicated to thanks and food.
December: Turn up that Christmas station everyone, it’s time.
I know that you can now barely fit into your pants after the past three months but hey don’t forget that in December no one really wears bikinis anyways. As the cold finally comes in full effect, the crisp air brings a sense of warmth to all homes as it welcomes Christmas. Every store is filled with lights, trees, and cinnamon scented pine cones setting the stage for a seemingly cheerful month. Radios blare loudly with Christmas Carols and songs, and even if you sing badly you can’t deny the pleasure of belting out a few tunes. As if Thanksgiving didn’t fatten you up enough now you can wait for the joy of Christmas dinner to please your stomach along with the season of gift giving, cookies, hot chocolate, and Santa. Yes that’s right everyone’s favorite holiday figure Kris Kringle himself.
The best part about Christmas is that after all of that joyous celebration, the euphoria can continue all the way up into the new year and then soon enough, it will be time again for Uggs and yoga pants, Pumpkin spice lattes, corny pictures of throwing leaves in the air, and all of this to welcome the holiday season that we anticipate year round. Thank you Fall, now let’s get ready to party!
