31 Reasons Why October is the Best

Fall is my favorite season. While I love Christmas and all its related coziness, I'm not a huge fan of the rest of winter. Fall is simply the best for an endless list of reasons. Not convinced? Prepare yourself for a list of fall-loving basic-ness. 

1. Pumpkins. Pumpkin patches, pumpkin spice, carving pumpkins. You name it, it's pumpkin-ed.
2. It's sweater weather!
3. Also boots. Boots 24/7.
4. Blankets. Need I say more?
5. Light every candle in your house at the same time. It's acceptable now.
6. Orange leaves, everything is like a SUNSET PAINTING.
7. All of the seasonal music being blasted...Thriller, Double Trouble...
8. Halloween decorations. I better see some bats and spiderwebs and creepy-pretty.
9. Hot tea and coffee at all hours of the day.
10. Halloween movie marathons. I'm looking at you abc family, I mean freeform *cue eyeroll*
11. Hats! It's cool enough to not be suffocated by stylishly trying to don headwear.
12. I can wear black everyday and not be so judged. It's the perfect color okay?!
13. Layering is back. Praise fall.
14. Nightmare Before Christmas. The Pumpkin King gets his own reason.
15. So does Hocus Pocus.
16. Children in Halloween costumes. 
17. Dogs in Halloween costumes.
18. The first real rain of the season; the smell of rain on pavement. 
19. All of the good tv shows start back up.
20. Fall in Disneyland, which I will be experiencing for the first time ever this year!
21. Socks. If you don't have a great collection of novelty socks, start now. It'll change your life.
22. Crisp fall mornings.
23. Goofing around in Halloween stores.
24. Corn Mazes.
25. Haunted houses, if that's your thing.
26. Spending a whole day baking cookies, pies, cakes, etc. 
27. Crafting the best Halloween costume that will put all past years to shame.
28. Having that costume be a couples' costume with your dog (this year we're Wednesday & Pugsley)
29. Harry Potter everything. 
30. It gets dark enough to have a bunch of string lights up and live in soft light (flattering).
31. HALLOWEEN.

There you have it: Fall is hands-down the best season. If you don't agree you're just wrong. 

What's your favorite thing about the most wonderful time of the year?
