CONTEST NOW CLOSED- Let’s Celebrate Change, it’s Favourite Thing About Fall Day!

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.

My favourite thing about fall is no longer sweating after being outside for ten minutes.

The best part of fall in Atlantic Canada is that I can enjoy time in the hammock without being eaten alive by mosquitoes!

Fall is a party time: many birthday for my family members in between September to November. Mine as well...

What I love most about fall is that I get to wear what I want as it isn't too hot or cold. I can pick and choose what I find comfortable which we don't always have the ability to do in the winter or summer.

I like to rake leaves with the kids.

My reason for fall being the favorite: cooler weather

I love walking and bike-riding in the fall, whether in the city or the country. The cooler temperatures make me feel much more energetic than in summer.

Black Friday/Cyber Monday

Thanksgiving

I like travelling to countries when it's their fall season because it is normally cheaper and not too hot

Not my favourite season. Sure the colours of the trees are lovely but it only means the long dark night of winter is soon. That would be my least favourite season.

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 Smiley LOL

I love seeing the colors of leaves turning, especially with our school being surrounded by them.

 My birthday and of course everything related to Halloween (decorations, scary movies, candy!)

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 Smiley Sad

Black Friday ... we are Canadian we don't really get Black Friday like the US. Surprised that Cyber Monday popularity is not overtaken Black Friday in Canada.

I love the weather in the Fall. And food! It's a season that brings lots of delicious vegtables and fruits.

To me, what the God gives us in Fall are the best - easier temperature (nothing above 30) and the humidity.

I teach at the local college in the fall, just one or two classes in the evening. It is something I enjoy doing. It'd kind of a hobby as I have a full time job. I do take it seriously though but try to make it a fun experience for my students. I am hoping that one day I may go full time there, but the odds of getting hit by lightning while holding two seperate jackpot winning lottery tickets is much higher than that happening.

For as long as the weather holds in September and occasionally even into October, life is great at our cabin because almost everyone else has gone home, back to school, back to work etc. Absolute peace and quiet on the remaining days of summer!

 

PS:  I thought Cadillac Fairview was the real Estate arm of Bell Canada owning shopping malls and office buildings etc but not actual stores? Will I have to lease a store front and open a Public Mobilty Dealership to use my $50 card if I win?
