The leaves are changing, the weather is getting colder, and every other person you know is posting pictures of their #pumpkinspicelatte, all these indicate fall is FINALLY here. After 94 days of a sweltering summer, 29% of Americans are relieved that their favorite season has arrived. So what exactly makes Autumn Americas most preferred time of the year
1. Colder Weather Brings Changing Leaves
When talking about Fall the first thing people will comment on is the beautiful foliage that comes with the cold weather. Walks become easier because you are no longer sweating, and the sights become much more interesting. The leaves change daily and fall to the ground, creating natures own playpen!
2. Sweaters and Warm Clothes
Fall style; sweaters, layers, hats and mittens, scarfs and tall boots. It's the season of keeping warm and cozy while still having fun.
3. Cuddle Time
One of my favorite things about fall is that with the cold weather comes good snuggle season. It is the time of soft blankets and cuddling. Curl up with your favorite person, a good movie and a hot cup of tea and enjoy the season.
4. Seasonal Delicacies
With Autumn comes delicious warm goodies; pies, soups, and lattes. The colder weather makes us all want to find something yummy to eat. It is the season of comfort food.
5. Apple Picking
A great family activity! Not only do you get to go to an orchard and see bright red apples all around you, you also get fresh apple goodies when you get home!
6. Pumpkin Carving
Many families use pumpkin carving as a tradition. Some towns even have competitions for who has the best pumpkin carving abilities. What once was a repellent of evil spirits is now used as seasonal decoration. And who can forget baked pumpkin seeds!
7. Halloween
We all love to have a reason to dress up and eat candy. This holiday is beloved by people of all ages. This spooky aspect to Fall is a major reason why people love it. What other holiday allows you to dress up as your favorite horror movie character, and go to door begging for candy!
8. Thanksgiving
This holiday brings everyone together, aunts, uncles, grandmother, and a couple of cousins you didn't even know you had. For some people, this may be the only time they see their loved ones throughout the year. We gather together with good food and great company to celebrate Thanksgiving.
