Fall Holidays

by Twinkles

While the fall is not my favorite season of the year, it certainly contains my most favorite holidays of the year. As the leaves fall and the temperatures start going colder, we all shudder and think fondly of building snowmen and ice skating and bobsleds and all those good things. Along with those are hot cocoa and a warm fireplace, just the perfect thing for a cold winter's day or evening.

But I love the holidays that come in with the coming of fall. As soon as October hits, I look forward to Halloween. We all get to dress up in wonderful costumes and go from door to door to get yummy treats. We also get to enjoy the Halloween parties. Oooh boy! I come home with lots of goodies in my bag!

Then soon Thanksgiving follows and I think fondly of turkey dinners. I remember the pilgrims and the Indians who shared the first Thanksgiving together. It was because of them that we have a national holiday to give thanks, not to mention the beginning of our wonderful country!

I love the Macy parade and wouldn't miss it for the world. We watch it every year. My thoughts then wander to Christmas and that jolly man in the red suit, Santa Claws of course, and to getting lots of presents under my tree! It's a wonderful time of year with such fun in store for everyone.

Fall need not make you sad. When it gets cold outside, the wind blows, and the leaves fall. Although we say goodbye to the flowers for awhile, we get to enjoy some delightful holidays with family and friends. These holidays help to make fall and winter the warmest times of year. They are warmed with love.
