November is the greatest month of all in my opinion, and here are the reasons why:
1. The fall colors are brilliant. Leaves are everwhere. The air is fresh and crisp. The weather is gorgeous. November just puts you in that "warm and fuzzy" mood where you feel happy inside.
2. FOOTBALL! November is when things get interesting in football. Teams are in their final stretch of the schedule where it's usually "make it or break it" time. It's also time for three or four teams to emerge from the rest...other teams that are ranked too high usually get found out. Lots of points are scored, records are set, and upsets and underdogs shine.
3. Holidays are around the corner! November is usually full of anticipation and excitement for seeing family, vacations, good food, and lots of laughter. Energy is just kind of buzzing around, and everybody's catching this contagious bug for fun and light-hearted spirits. There's usually a tag football game in the park or around the corner in the street. The younger kids will be jumping into huge piles of leaves their dad just raked into a pile; then others will be cozied up to the fire, book in hand, lost in another world.
4. Thanksgiving! Ham, turkey, and all the trimmings just make my mouth water. All the aromas of pumpkin pie, cranberry sauce, homemade mashed potatoes and gravy, macaroni and cheese, brocolli salad, and warm bread escape the busy kitchen and wander throughout the home. It's just time to forget about the rules and indulge a little bit. Appreciate the bountiful blessings of living in America!
Happy November to everyone!
