As I'm writing this blog, we're already in the middle of my favorite time of the year. The last three months of the year are also my three favorite months of the year. They have my three favorite holidays, starting from 3rd favorite and going up to my 1st favorite. Here are reasons why I love these months so much:
3rd Favorite- October:
) It's the beginning of when the outside temperature starts to cool down. Lets be real. I live in Southwest Florida, so it's always hot here. Although, it does slightly get less hot.
) It's when Pumpkin Spice starts to make it's way into coffee shops and other places
) Of course, it has my 3rd favorite holiday of Halloween. I love how there's horror movies playing all throughout the month on TV thanks to the holiday. I love dressing up for Halloween; it's so much fun. You can't forget the haunted houses.

2nd Favorite- November:
) If you know me, you know I love food. I love eating food. If you want to get your money's worth at a buffet, I'm the guy you want to bring with you. That being said, this month is my 2nd favorite because of Thanksgiving. Family come together to eat a bunch of delicious home-cooked food and think about what your thankful for.
( I wear this shirt every year on Thanksgiving because, that's me!)
1st Favorite- December:
) Each of the previous months mentioned very slowly get cooler, but December is definitely the coolest month of the year and I enjoy cold air. Once again though, in Southwest Florida we maybe get a total of 7 days that are in the 50s and I look forward to those days.
) In the past , this month has been a time of travel for me and I love traveling. While I was still in grade school, my dad and I would travel to Washington State where we're both originally from to visit with family. I find Washington to be very beautiful. I always hoped to see snow, which I did get to a few of the visits. When I was in college I traveled to Belize, where both of my parents were living at the time, for Winter break. I also really love visiting Belize. I would stay on a tropical island whenever I went to Belize.
) My birthday is in this month. I was born on December 21, 1990. Having my birthday this month makes it that much more special to me.
) Then there's my 1st favorite holiday, Christmas. Hey I was an early Christmas present to my parents in 1990. As a little kid I was always really excited to open up presents, but of course presents aren't as big of a deal to me now that I'm an adult. I love all of the Christmas lights and decorations. I love all of the Christmas music. Just like Thanksgiving, I love getting together with family and eating a bunch of delicious home-cooked meals.
) December also has New Year's Eve. It's an exciting day and night as we're getting ready for the count down into the New Year, which means new possibilities and opportunities.

Those are my three favorite months for you. Are they similar to yours? So until my next blog, I hope you have beautiful days ahead of you.
