There are four seasons, all with very different traits and traditions associated with them. But which one is the best? It’s really a no-brainer. Fall, of course!
1. The Leaves Change Color
There couldn’t be a better part of fall. Everyone could use a little more color in their lives and Mother Nature provides that for a couple months every year.
2. It’s Also Called Autumn
Fall comes with an extra name and it’s so beautiful! Just say it — “Autumn” — such an elegant, lovely word.
3. Pumpkin Everything
Yes, the amount of pumpkin flavored foods on the market in the fall can be a little excessive, but you cannot deny that it tastes so good. And it’s a seasonal flavor, so you might as well enjoy it while it lasts!
4. Sweaters
Sweater weather is upon us! Sweater weather is the best weather because you look like the most composed human to ever exist when in reality, you just threw on a sweater, jeans, and a pair of shoes. And sweaters are basically cuddly blankets disguised as shirts, so who wouldn’t love wearing that all day?
5. Halloween
Special movies, spooky decorations, unique costumes, pumpkin carving, loads of candy… Halloween is so easy to appreciate and fall is practically centered around it.
6. Thanksgiving
Fall has not one, but TWO major holidays. Give thanks and keep eating delicious food until your pants don’t fit.
7. Fall Has the Best Weather
Most fall forecasts are sunny and maybe partly cloudy, but it almost never rains. In the early days of fall, you don’t even need a jacket when walking outside, just some long sleeves because the temperature is nearly perfect.
8. Apples
Fall is apple season! Just think about all the possibilities — apple picking, caramel apples, apple pie, apple cider, apple cider doughnuts… Who doesn’t love a good apple?
9. Football
One of the most uniting forces in America is undoubtedly football. Whether you’re going to a Friday night high school game with friends or watching your favorite NFL team with your family on a Sunday afternoon, football is an essential fall custom.
10. The Best Clothes
In addition to sweaters, you can finally wear flannels, scarves, boots, and all of the cozy fall outfits imaginable. Fall fashion is something to look forward to every year.
11. Pants Weather = No More Shaving
No-Shave November isn’t just for men! So say “Goodbye” to your razor and “Hello” to your fall best friend — pants.
12. The Holiday Season Is Just Around the Corner
When fall finally must end, the holiday season is just beginning! The merriness of the holidays will be an adequate consolation to your heartbreak over fall ending.
