Hey Community,
Goodbye summer, it’s been swell! Thanks for the pool parties and the tan but now we say hello to fall. If cozy was a season, it would be fall. There’s no better time of year to curl up with a good book, a hot cup of tea, and gaze out the window at the trees. Plus, it’s when Halloween and Thanksgiving, arguably the two best holidays, happen. Here are four reasons why fall might be our favourite season:
1. The Outdoors are Drop Dead Gorgeous
We dare you to name a prettier time of year than when trees turn from green to brown, yellow, and orange. There’s no need for Netflix when you can binge-watch this foliage.
2. The Food is Nap-Inducing
The food this time of year is so good you have to pass out after eating it. We’re talking turkey, stuffing, gravy, pumpkin pie…even listing these foods is making us sleepy.
3. Warm Drinks Galore
Speaking of food, let’s talk about the drinks. Fall is the best time of year to sip hot chocolate, warm apple cider, or tea. It’s the perfect contrast for that crisp fall breeze.
4. Back-to-School Season
There is a magical element to Back-to-School season that you can’t simply ignore. The pure nostalgia of starting a new school year leaves us with fond memories and brings an aura of new beginnings in the air.
Now we want to hear your favourite thing about fall! Comment below by 12 PM ET on September 10 and tell us what you love most about the fall season. To help spice up your fall wardrobe, we will select three winners at random who will receive a $50 gift card to Cadillac Fairview. Now go outside and watch the leaves change! Contest runs September 3 to September 10, 2019. Read Contest Rules before entering.

Moon Festival and Moon Cakes!
The most exciting event taking place in the Fall is my Birthday! This year, in particular, I am looking forward to a milestone celebration as I am turning 50! Which means I have an entire lifetime to live yet, another full 50 years, very exciting Fall 2019 
I would say the best part about fall is the fruit picking (i.e. apple picking) season. Fruits are best picked after summer when they're fully ripe.
To be honest I'm a complete summer guy, anything under 20 degrees is too cold to me. Fall tends to be a sad time for me because I know I'll need to break out the jackets, sweaters, and then the unfortunate winter coat, for the next 8-9 months. So sad
