Why we ❤ 🍁
Posted on by Dave Ashton

Sorry, Santa…the holidays are no longer the most wonderful time of the year!

When is?

We’re living in it RN…more people are happier during the Fall months than at any other time during the year, according to People.

So what do we love so much about Fall?  SWNS says its:

  • Seeing the leaves change color
  • The chill in the air
  • Hot chocolate
  • Getting ready for the holidays
  • Soup
  • Starting to cook holiday foods
  • Watching scary movies for Halloween
  • Big sweaters
  • The sound of rain
  • Lighting candles

We also love baking pies, all the pumpkin-spice stuff, carving jack-o’-lanterns and wearing flannel.

The first two weeks of October are the best of Fall…thought the perfect Fall temperature is usually cooler…exactly 53 degrees.

That is definitely “Sweater Weather”!
