What is your favorite thing about this time of year?

Mine is POMEGRANATES!!!!!!!!!

The smell of wood smoke in the air on a cool night.

A fresh dutch oven.

Walking through crispy leaves on the ground and the vibrant colors.

Probably the crystal meth to get through the fall depression...

The smell. Everything smells amazing. and Christmas music. and the whole atmosphere of everything.

Being able to enjoy outdoor activities without sweating like a pig.

Crisp cool air, bright sunshine, and the smell of leaves on the ground.

The chilly environment making you feel alive and glad of it when you step outside in the early morning.

The cooling off the the weather
The turning of the leaves
The first snow on the mountaintops
Football season
Halloween
Ditch the suit jacket and break out the leather with my uniform

It's my favorite time of the year- October is my favorite month, hands down.

Can't say I'm overly fond of this time of year. I guess driving in snow is fun, but I don't drive to work anymore.

This.

If I could take 4-6 weeks off work every year, it would be all of October, plus a week or two on either end. LOVE this time of year.

Snow? Who the fuck gets SNOW in October?!? ( East Coast!)

Fall rocks! Crisp air, the smell of a fireplace/firepit burning. Beautiful colors on the trees. Football season. Visiting the wineries. Octoberfest! Halloween! Being perfectly comfortable outside in jeans and a flannel shirt, possibly with a jacket or vest.

Football season is probably my favorite thing about this time of year. I don't mind cooler temperatures, but I hate the cold and my loathing of the stark, angled sunlight that begins this time of year is well-documented. Plus, I can't stand the shorter daylight hours.

I'm a spring and summer kind of person. Fall and winter are too bleak for me.

And werewolves to shoot when I take out the trash.

Christmas oranges! And the nice crisp air! (although I haven't been able to get out for a walk much my husband doesn't get home until 8 at night *sigh*)

I LOVE Halloween and Christmas season. Just love it. Sadly my husband is a spoil sport and I'm not 'allowed' to start playing the Christmas movies or put the decorations up until the 1st of December.

But we spend all Oct doing Halloween activities/crafts/baking (he won't let me do a halloween tree though. He's so controlling eh? ) and then I do Remembrance Day activities and have the advent calendars all ready and from the 1st on every day we do little home-made gifts and activities plus school activities.

My Christmas shopping is all done and wrapped.

I'm like a little nauseatingly perky holiday energizer bunny. It ROCKS!!

The only thing I don't like is the cold. I totally live in the wrong country for that.

Sadly, my reply requires the Red Room. But it involves night coming earlier.

And hobos.

This.

But being a worrier at heart, it's spoiled by wondering how bad a winter is coming.

Well, it's darker when children come home at night so...
