Fall Season

Fall Season

Autumn is the season between summer and winter. The temperature is dropping as winter starts to approach, leaves on trees turn yellow, orange, red and brown during this season. Autumn, also known as Fall, is the perfect time to go outdoors. It’s not too hot and not too cold either. Fall is also the season where people tend to fall in love more, the season sparks a desire to spend quality time with someone special whether you’re picking pumpkins, or holding hands in a haunted house or watching a scary movie.         

There are many fun things to do during fall. You can do stuff alone, with friends, family and or your significant other. You can go to  high school football games as the football season comes to an end (go support your school football team!!!). You could also go to the pumpkin patch and pick out pumpkins to carve and or paint, corn maze, watch scary movies, get matching costumes with someone as Halloween is coming up, go trick or treating on Halloween, bake cookies and decorate them and there’s so much more.

A holiday celebrated in fall is Halloween. It is a holiday that started to be celebrated in the 1840s in America. Each year on October 31st people dress up in costumes and go door to door saying trick or treat and usually get treats from the people of the homes they knock on. Nowadays extreme precaution must be taken as even the DEA is warning parents about rainbow fentanyl after recently seizing 12,000 fentanyl pills in Halloween candy packages at the Los Angeles airport, around 15,000 colored-fentanyl pills in Nerds and Skittles and more. 

Another holiday celebrated in Fall is Thanksgiving. It is celebrated on every fourth Thursday of November every year. The very first time Thanksgiving was celebrated was in 1621 and only 5 women were present in this celebration. Thanksgiving is a day where you celebrate harvest and any other blessings of the past year with the people you love.Traditional food that are served during thanksgiving areturkey, stuffing, gravy, sweet potatoes, cornbread, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce.
