My Favorite Time of Year

For me, it has to be fall.

There’s something about the shift in the air that feels like a reset. The coolness that comes with fall is a welcome refresher after the blazing summer heat. I love the different colors of the leaves, and the longer nights. It’s also the time of year when I get to pull out my favorite hooded sweatshirts again.

But more than the weather, I love what fall represents. It signals the start of my favorite time of year: the holidays. Once autumn hits, it’s like a countdown to everything I love; Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Each month feels like a celebration, filled with nostalgia, family, food, and warmth.

The nostalgia is a big part of it for me, it brings back memories of a simpler time; times of celebration spent with my loved ones, some who aren’t here anymore.

That’s why fall is my favorite season.
