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.

Not often I win in a random draw.  Thanks PM, really appreciate everything you do and continue to do for existing customers.  Not like other companies that only like us when we sign up, and then once we're in the system they treat us like cattle.  PM continues to keep existing customers in mind.

So who are the lucky 3 winners?


Hi everyone,

 

Due to a lack of response for one of the winners, I'm reaching out to a new winner and so the announcement for all 3 winners (once they accept and fill their form) will be delayed slightly.

 

Thanks!

Second - PM fall promo plans... How about it can we get another fall promo plan this year??

Am I the only spring/summer person around? September is still summer month, sure fall comes but really at the end of it.

I get very nostalgic at this time as summer is about to leave. Though I do appreciate the colors and the smells and huuuuge macchiato cups.

My faviorite things about Falls are the colours...the city just seem to liven up by itself with the changing of leaves. I also like that comfortable temperature of high teens and low twenties. Lastly, the one thing I am looking forward to this Falls are MORE GREATS THINGS from PM. I seem to missed them...I signed up after the Free 1gig promo and before the free 1 month promo, so Falls will has to be good to me 🙂

I love Autumn/Fall.  And September is one of my favourite months.  Four family members celebrate their birthdays, and we always get together...

I like that it's not hot and humid or freezing cold, just the in between weather.  Oh and of course, Thanksgiving dinner!

My favorite thing about fall is the temperatures. It's not to hot it's not too cold. It's just right.  🙂

My favourite thing during the fall season is the weather. It's not to hot and not to cold. Thanksgiving is also right around the corner.

Without a doubt, the best part is the beautiful scenery as the trees all change.
Close runner-up is the cozy sweater you're wearing while taking it all in!

Tiprix

It probably would have to be the folliage and the nice walks outdoors when the temperature isni't too hot or cold, but just right.

You can understate the advantage of comfortable weather. Early fall is cold enough that we don't need AC anymore, and hot enough that we don't need to start the heater yet.
