Ways to Celebrate the Changing Seasons
The beginning of the Fall season marks the time for transition; while some enjoy the cool nights as the darkness sets in, it is time for others to bid adieu to green leaves and long sunny days. No matter what is the case for you, there are always reasons to celebrate Fall and take the time to introspect, prepare, and plan for change. I, personally, love the cosy feeling this cycle of the year brings with it, and can’t wait to share my favourite reasons to celebrate the upcoming season!
I specifically like:
Spending Nights by the Fire. Setting up a cosy fireplace and enjoying a good book wrapped in a warm blanket, or watching the flames flickering as the sun fades enveloped in the arms of your special someone, or spending quality time with your loved ones enjoying the warmth and using the fire to toast marshmallows while enjoying cups of hot chocolate ~ are among the best ways to create truly special Fall memories.
Seasonal Festivities. Considering the traditional calendar, Fall is regarded as a time for festivities and celebration. Remember that this is that time of the year where our ancestors would have been occupied with storing food to last through the winter and spring seasons. Thus, Fall is a beautiful way to see how Mother Earth sustains us. Look around your locality and see if there are food events to celebrate the beginning of the Harvest Festival, which is indicative of how well the land is endowed. And since, Fall also means that we are a skip and jump away from Halloween {or Samhain}, get into the spirit of it by trick or treating or hosting a themed soirée for family and friends.
Cook a Delectable Meal. Embrace all that the season has to offer and make the most of nature’s gifts at this time. Forge beautiful memories by inviting your friends or family members to enjoy a joint cooking experience; this way, not only will you relish treasured family recipes passed down from one generation to another, but also set the mood for the new season by sharing moments of happiness. In addition, by dressing up for dinner, you can make it a real occasion and enjoy the night in a themed ambience.
Make Some Music. For me, the tradition has been to create lasting memories by using evenings during the Fall season to engage with others and interact. In my opinion, restaurants make for a great gathering place. If music is your strength and your weakness, have a get together with like-minded friends and play for your audience. Playing an instrument is not only a skill but also a confidence booster that relaxes the mind while creating a cheerful and enjoyable atmosphere. Else, explore your local community and find music events to dance your way through the night!
I hope you enjoyed my favourite reasons to celebrate Fall! I sure am ready to find enjoyment in the little things as the wheel of the year turns towards Fall, and I wish you the very best of the season this year!
