Welcome to November!

November is the best month of the year. Facts.

We’ve had a hectic few months. since Starbucks now controls the seasons, Fall began on August 22nd, when the Pumpkin Spice Latte was officially “released.” Since then, we’ve been inundated with pumpkin everything. We can still “pumpkin” this November, but we can also be chill about it.

November is the “in-between” month, between the extended fall and the extended Christmas—November is whatever you want to make of it. You can commence Christmas, or use the month for some peace, clarity, and space. The calm before the storm, if you will.

The first event of November is here—Daylight Savings ended. Did you get an extra hour of sleep? I woke up at 5:30 a.m. Awesome.

And the Seasonalist’s favorite holiday is here—Thanksgiving! The simplest of holidays—because it is about two simple things: 1. Gathering 2. Eating.

My mantra on the Seasonalist is to anticipate the season joyfully. I’ll wait until after Thanksgiving for the Christmas season. Caveat: the onslaught of Christmas movies (covered below).

So what’s up this November? Read on!
