With the start of October comes the unofficial beginning of fall. The cold weather, football games, and spooky activities can officially begin. Here’s the top five reasons fall is my favorite season:

1. Festive Halloween Candy

I don’t know what it is but the candy with the Halloween decorations on them just tastes so much better than the normal candy to me. Candy corn, too. It’s all just so good.

2. Anything Halloween

In fact, anything having to do with Halloween is a great part of fall. The spooky season is definitely the best. I mean the dancing pumpkin videos are hilarious, too.

3. Pumpkin Everything

Pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin patches, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin carving, pumpkin launching… What more could you want?

4. Warm Drinks

It’s becoming too cold for iced coffee which means the warm drinks come out. Hot chocolate anyone??

5. Sweater Weather
