Nothing can get better than fall. Or winter for that matter. Most people love summer, I mean sure- warm weather, swimming, beaches, shirtless boys (or girls in bikinis)- but I prefer fall over summer anytime. I mean you get to wear sweaters and scarves, rich colors, pink cheeks, warm drinks (Tea and Coco and Starbucks), mittens, boots, indoor pool, cuddling <3, movies, colorful trees and crunchy leaves, the faint smell of smoke on the air. The list goes on and on, but for now I will leave it at that. Personally I love cuddling and Starbucks myself, and cuddling with someone other than my cat, my stuffed animals or myself seems like a much greater possibility now than ever before. And something even better? Curling up in front of the fireplace and reading a good book while watching the snow fall in the winter time. That's my favorite thing other than sledding in the winter. My house has this one wall completely made up of windows and it makes you feel so small, like someone is watching over you. It makes you feel like you are in a snow globe. The reason cold weather is so much more desirable? You get to wear more layers and cute outfits and jeans, where no one can see your pale white skin or chub. Blankets upon blankets and no worrying about getting sweaty or having to cool off. I would choose being cold and having to warm up than being hot and having to cool down any day. What else is so great about Fall and Winter?

Halloween- Dressing up as someone other than yourself and getting candy, pumpkin chocolate chip muffins (I am a firm believer in trick-or-treating at any age).
Thanksgiving- Crazy families, amazing food, eating so much you want to sleep, Love and thankfulness (and in my case presents, because my birthday sometimes lands on that Thursday).
Christmas (or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa)- Presents, family, Love, carols, sugar cookies with icing (and little family rituals), ugly Christmas sweater parties, last minute shopping, sales on everything, no school, prime rib :)
New Year- Late night parties, crazy fun, sparkling cider (because I don't drink), midnight kisses
Valentines Day- Chocolate, cards, Love, cute stories, pink and red, anti-date parties, flowers, the coming of Spring.
