My favorite season is fall. Fall is just so much fun, with the cold football games, delicious hot apple cider with donuts, the beautiful fall leaves, and my favorite holiday, Halloween. My favorite fall activity is decorating for Halloween with my wonderful family. I usually decorate either the first or second weekend of October when the chill has just begun. When the season to finally decorate comes, I decorate with my sister, Haley, my dad, and my dads girlfriend, Megan. When decorating, I feel excited. I feel like the season I wait for all year long, has finally arrived. The day begins with going to get pumpkins. We have to make sure that they are the perfect shape, and size, and are the perfect orange color. Then we head to McDonalds to get some delicious hot chocolate to take home while we decorate in the chilly air. This activity continues with going into the attic to find all of the Halloween decorations. After we fetch the decorations, we go out into the yard, usually after about nine o'clock at night, and begin to decorate the side yard. We start with T. Bones, the dancing skeleton. Next, we put out Marcus the Carcus, which looks like a head, two hands, and two feet sticking out of the frosted ground. After that we put out the bright flashing light, that lights up the whole yard. Then, we string spider webs all around the porch posts. Before we move to the front yard there is on more decoration, the moving, "booing" ghost. This is a ghost that moves back and forth, "booing". We then move to the front yard. In the front yard we continue by hanging up a wreath on the front door. We end our decorating with hanging orange string lights all around the house. After we decorate the house we will go inside and finish our hot chocolate, with a great Halloween or fall movie, such as Hocus Pocus. Decorating for Halloween is my favorite, annual, fall activity.
