Ah, fall, how lovely you are. I call it the Goldilocks season. Why? Because it’s not too hot and it’s not too cold, it’s just right. Some people hate on fall but that simply won’t do around here. Here’s why I think fall is the best season around.

1. The Colours

Ok to be honest, being in Japan in Autumn really made me fall in love with the season. The trees there change colours so vibrantly. Reds, yellows, and oranges like you’ve never seen before cover the whole country. It’s a sight to behold and one I long to see again. We have good fall colours here too! Just take a stroll through Queen Elizabeth Park or drive through Stanley Park and you’ll see exactly what I mean.

2. The Clothes That Pair Perfectly With the Weather

I love rocking shorts and a t-shirt more than anyone but there’s just something about a nice cozy pair of sweatpants that nothing can beat. That feeling of putting them on after a long day at work and knowing you won’t get too hot is everything. It’s also plaid season. It’s too hot to wear flannels in the summer but in the fall you can wear them as a “jacket” and not get too cold!

3. The Sports

Fall is football season (the best sports season of them all) and I love football. NFL and CFL (any year but this one) are in full swing, college football is just getting started and highschool teams are getting ready to take the field. I miss my days on the gridiron, some of my best memories of highschool come from those days. I even still rock my championship ring sometimes, even though it’s huge and highly annoying, it brings back those awesome fall memories.

Oh and I’m sure someone would be upset if I didn’t mention pumpkin spice season. Every fall people everywhere go crazy for pumpkin spice everything. I never understood that but if it makes people like fall more then I’m into it!

Are you convinced yet? Fall is the best season. I will die on this hill…
