After a full month of preparing and getting excited for Halloween, it's more than a little disappointing that it's now over. The pumpkins, spiderwebs, and costumes are being put back into their places and, if you're a Halloween lover like I am, it's sad to see them go.
But don't worry, there's still plenty to be excited for in the coming months!
1. Colder Weather!
OK, sure, Jon Snow doesn't look super happy about winter but I sure am. Snow, warm drinks, toasty fires, and blankets for days. I'm so ready for it.
2. Thanksgiving!
The meal that some people look forward to all year. Turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie -- the list goes on. Good food, good people, good times!
3. December Holidays!
Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or anything else, there's a lot of fun events, family time, and traditions to look forward to with these holidays!
4. Christmas Carols!
We can finally listen to Christmas music without being shamed for playing it too early!
5. Holiday Movies!
There's nothing better than sitting down to watch "Elf" or "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" on a cold winter night! Add some popcorn and hot chocolate and you're good to go.
6. Winter Break!
Even if you don't celebrate any holidays, at least you have a break from school to look forward to. I know winter break can't come soon enough for me.
7. Winter Activities!
Snowball fights, ice skating, skiing and snowboarding, caroling, and so much more — there are some things that can only be done (or are more fun to do) in November and December.
8. The New Year!
Parties, friends, and a reflection on the past year! New year means a fresh start, and I'm looking forward to seeing what 2018 brings.
