The
transition from October to November is actually a huge step. Halloween has come to an end and people are
recovering from their hangovers (metaphorically and literally) and preparing
themselves for what lies ahead. After Halloween,
you have Thanksgiving to look forward to, Black Friday, and Christmas of
course! Even
if you don’t celebrate or participate in those events, it’s still a wonderful
time of the year with the crisp air of fall leading to a snuggly winter. It’s even better if you live in a place that
gets snowy enough for snowdays from school.
I personally look forward to those.
As
I have come to get older, I appreciate Thanksgiving a lot more. The food is the best part for me. In my family, we have stuffing, turkey,
mashed potatoes, rolls, (the basics) and Hershey’s pie. I’m a big fan of pie, but Hershey’s pie is a
must in my family seeing as I grew up in a heavily chocolate influenced family. The other great part of Thanksgiving is the
family. This year, I have some family
coming down here to see us. I come from
one of those switch off families for Thanksgiving with my mom and dad, so it’s
nice to get a change of scenery each year.
The day after Thanksgiving is the time to be totally obsessed with
Christmas and the tree goes up.
On
November 28th of this year, it’s going to be like World War 3. Black Friday is intense, but worth it. I plan to camp out this year with my friends,
but who knows if it’ll actually happen.
It’s the start of the holiday shopping season and the deals are so beneficial. I can’t really think of a reason not to
participate, unless you have bad roads or don’t like big crowds.
Once the snow hits, it’s
like a whole new world (“Aladdin” reference intended). I put the Christmas CDs in the car and the
fireplace is on. Whether it snows before
or after Thanksgiving, I have Christmas on my mind. This year, my mom is taking my sister and me
to Disney World and Universal Studios to Harry Potter World. My level of excitement is through the
roof. The last time I went to Disney
World was when I was 8, and I can only remember bits and pieces. I love all things Disney and Harry Potter, so
it’s going to be a really good Christmas.
After we stay in Florida for a few days, I’m going to spend Christmas in
Utah with my mom and brother (who’s in collage), enjoy the snow.
Even after all that
excitement, there’s New Years! Party
central for most people.
