Surely, it's sad that the Halloween fun is over, but who's to say we don't have a bunch of things to look forward to this month? Here are 10 things that make November a month to be excited about after post-Halloween depression!
1. Thanksgiving.
It's the most obvious thing to be looking forward to in November, but we all love spending time with family, eating tons of delicious food, and getting a few days off from school!
2. Black Friday.
Every year stores seem to open earlier and earlier, and we all love the excitement of getting online at stores at 6 a.m. to get the latest and greatest gifts for great prices! Some words of advice to the Black Friday goers: Please shop safely! Chances are, you're hyped up on caffeine to survive through the late night/early morning hours. But no discounted sweater or half-priced TV is worth getting into a brawl over.
3. No-Shave November.
Beards, mustaches, 5 o'clock shadow -- we just can't get enough. Even though some won't admit it, we ladies love some scruff on our men!
4. Christmas Music and Decorations.
It begins. The aura of the holiday season is in the air. Christmas trees go up, houses are covered from top to bottom in lights, classic holiday movies are on TV, Christmas music is playing everywhere you go, and people in the happy and joyful holiday spirit are everywhere!
5. Scarves, Hats, and Gloves.
Winter accessory season has officially begun! Whether it's looking super cute in your new beanie, or getting to rock your favorite infinity scarf, it is not totally acceptable.
6. Fireplaces and Warmth.
Sitting by the fire with a cup of hot cocoa + a cozy blanket + and a good book = total euphoria. Suddenly, we seem to appreciate the feeling of warmth and simplicity a whole lot more during November.
7. Cuffing and Cuddling Season.
Because what could be better than some Netflix and chill on a cold November day?
8. National Peanut Butter Lovers Month.
Pretty self-explanatory, but peanut butter is probably one of the greatest things in the world. Be sure to eat tons of it this month in celebration!
9. Warm Winter Drinks.
Peppermint-flavored everything is now in effect! Hot cocoa, cappuccinos, tea, anything with delicious flavor that can be served piping hot to get rid of those winter chills.

10. The first snowfall of the year.
This could either be something to look forward to or something to dread. One cannot deny how beautiful the first snowfall is, light and majestic looking as it slowly falls from the sky.
Happy November, y'all! Be sure to indulge in all of the great things that happen during this month, and most importantly, stay warm!
