Fall

Each season brings many unique activities, moods, and holidays. Spring brings a new birth of plants, animals, and warm weather. It is when the world gets over the cold winter, when the roses bloom, and the leaves on the trees blossom. Summer brings heat, pools, and no school! It brings outdoor activities, family reunions, and barbeques. Winter ushers in cold, wet snow, Christmas, and a new year. Fall is magical because of the beauty, harvesting, and the holidays that accompany it
Fall is full of various kinds of beauty. The leaves on the trees phase from green, to radiant yellows, shining oranges, and fiery reds. When the time comes, and the cooler weather approaches, the leaves slowly fall off the trees one by one. Many fond childhood memories have been formed as family raked the falling leaves together. After the leaves were gathered into piles we would jump in them. Leaves are also a very good prank. Last year, my dad told me to take care of the leaves up with my friend, before he got home. We scooped the leaves up in my garage in huge piles. To my dad’s surprise, we did “take care” of the leaves, but not how he had imagined! As he opened the garage, he was astonished when he saw the leaves overtaking his parking spot. Leaves of Autumn provide entertainment.
As the autumn leaves change and fall, it signifies fun holidays approaching. While the beauty of Fall is still surrounding us, the cool air approaches, and Halloween comes. Every year we have a tradition of throwing a big Halloween party. We have a pumpkin carving contest. We thumb through the carving patterns and speak for the most challenging ones weeks in advance. We all anticipate the party, and grow more curious about what the prizes will be for the carvers. We eat delicious homemade soup and breadsticks. We all cherish our very own mouth-watering caramel apples, and hide them from others. The party is always a big success, and is a huge part of Halloween for our family.
As Halloween ends, we look forward to another holiday: Thanksgiving. It is the holiday of the harvest. It represents the Pilgrims coming to America, and giving thanks for the food they had to eat. This is a special holiday, and we should remember to be thankful for all the blessings we have. Thanksgiving is a holiday unique to America, and no other country or nation celebrates it. As I was growing up, we visited my grandparents, and had a big Thanksgiving dinner. Afterward, we were pulled by a four-wheeler through the deep snow on a car hood. We would be freezing cold, then go inside and lay by the warm fireplace. Thanksgiving the last significant holiday of the Fall season.
Although all the seasons are unique, the Fall is unique to me because of many family traditions, vibrant colored leaves, the Thanksgiving holiday, and harvesting that comes with it. I will always cherish the fall seasons because of these memories.
