Entry #2 October
October
October, where you can dress up as whatever you want for a day. For many people, October is their favorite holiday because of the costumes, unlimited candy, and pumpkin carving, but for me, it's quite different. October for me means quality time making memories and just having a good time, but also the celebration of my birthday. For those who don't know me, I was born on October 31. There are many things you can do throughout October that make it special. I truly think that October is the best month.
I believe that October is the best month of the year because the climate starts to cool off, the color of the trees starts to change, and Starbucks brings back its pumpkin spice drinks. Not only that but it's also the month where we celebrate Halloween. Halloween is a holiday that has been celebrated for around 2,000 years. Halloween is just one day but it's celebrated throughout the month of October. Costumes are one of the main reasons why Halloween is so great, as you can dress us as literally anything, from your favorite movie character to a ketchup bottle. The ideas are endless. Trick or treating is an event that only happens once a year, this is when people wear their costumes and go door to door to receive candy, the best part of trick or treating is receiving the king-size chocolate bars. Kids love it, but dentists love it more as kids often get cavities from those sugary treats. October consists of tons of spooky decorations that often scare people, but the scariest decorations and reactions are at haunted houses. Haunted houses are fun and spooky places that bring friends and family together with a good scare. They are scary but harmless as they're just actors in costumes. During the final days of September and practically all of October, Arizona opens the Arizona State Fair. Here you can enjoy different carnival rides, food, games, and entertainment, it's a place worth visiting even though your wallet won't enjoy it as much. Pumpkin patches are really popular during this time as it's a good place to bring a loved one or someone who you enjoy spending time with. A pumpkin patch is a field full of pumpkins, where you can purchase pumpkins of all sizes, shapes, and colors. Finally, on the last day of October, I was born. I usually celebrate my birthday the day after or the day before Halloween, as I often take my little cousin's trick or treating that day. I enjoy every second of October as for me it's my favorite month.
Overall, The month of October is full of amazing and fun activities that you can do. October is the time when the weather changes and it becomes hoodie season. Also, the month of October is where Halloween happens as you can enjoy tons of candy and costumes. My birthday is a big aspect of why I enjoy October as it's the day when I get many gifts and birthday wishes. October is a month that brings friends and family together to enjoy a good time. This is why October is my favorite.
I agree with you that October is one of the best months. October has a good vibe and just brings out everyones Holliday spirits. The weather starts to feel cooler and just making fun memories over all.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite months have always been either December, or January, however, after reading this post you have given me a whole new perspective. I think I have been overlooking October completely. The more I think about it the more I realize I've had some of my best memories during the month of October such as Fear Farm, and the Arizona State Fair! Honestly I wish my birthday was in October now.
ReplyDeleteI completely forgot to put my name on this comment but I promise it's mine. I put blood, sweat, and tears into this comment and would like my recognition!
