Starting Tuesday are my four favorite months of the year.
The BER months.
Even in 2020, I am hoping they will be enjoyable.
September:
Pumpkin spice surfacing everywhere.
Goodbye to the 90’s and maybe a few days in the 70’s. Maybe less central air?
In South Carolina, leaves starting to lose their bright green hue.
In NY, it meant the beginning of leaves changing color and sweater weather.
October:
Time to put a pumpkin on the front porch and by the fireplace.
Halloween decorations appear.
In South Carolina, maybe a hint of color changes.
In NY, time to get the rake out.
Days gets shorter, darkness longer.
Apple picking.
November:
Finally, the leaves change colors in SC.
Hallmark Christmas movies 24/7.
Thanksgiving.
Online shopping.
And finally stores deciding to close on Thanksgiving !!
Even if it is just dinner for two, we can still give thanks and feel blessed.
December:
Decorations up.
Christmas music all hours.
The smell of the cookies coming out of the oven,
Wrapping gifts and sending cards.
Trying to find that special gift for someone.
Getting the gifts, cards and cookies put in the mail.
Finally getting to use the fireplace.
Driving around seeing all the outside decorations and houses lit up.
The glow of our tree in the dark.
Christmas Eve Day, the best day of the year.
Still feeling the magic that anything can happen on December 24th,
Looking to the sky as I did when I was a child in hopes of seeing something special.
Christmas Day, my second most favorite day or the year. In some ways after the morning, it slowly starts to be a let down.
A nice dinner and we open our last gifts of the day.
December 26th, I start the countdown to next year.
December 31st, while I have never been a big fan of New Years’s Eve, this year might be the exception.
Farewell to 2020. The year we wish we could have skipped.
In the blink of an eye, its 2021.
Happy New Year !!!!!
