What do you
(not) like
about Fall?

I like fall very much. Nature changes color, the children start school after the summer break, and we go back to our routines again. You still have energy after the summer. So I usually start an activity or a project inside or outside my house. This fall we will paint and change our children’s room. As it gets darker, I light more candles and tealights at home.

The answer is YES! Why? Because just when the season starts, I celebrate my birthday and this is always fantastic, because I have the opportunity to celebrate it all together with my family and friends. I also like this season, because I like to go to the mountains to see nature’s different colors. It is very nice to see the colorful trees compared to the green trees in summer, while enjoying the time, trekking and breathing pure air. It is especially a great season, because I can buy the new PUMA collection and show it to my friends ?

While I enjoy every beach and tanning day I can get in the summertime, the beginning of a new season always gets me in re-start mode. When a new season starts, I always feel motivated and inspired to set new goals and focuses, whether it’s regarding my health & working out or living more in the present and doing seasonal related activities. There are so many traditions in this season that I like to make a point to participate. I have a huge Greek family and every fall we pick a date and make it a family apple picking day at one of the farms outside the city. There are about 40 of us that make the commitment, ranging from all ages, and it’s one of the days I look forward to the most throughout the whole year. It’s been a tradition ever since I can remember and now that I’m older I appreciate the time so much more. Not to mention, there’s tons of amazing food involved afterwards ?. It’s still warm enough to be outside right before the cold picks up. I love everything related to Halloween and Thanksgiving, because it brings lots of celebration and togetherness with family and friends.  This time of the year also gets me super excited for Christmas, of course and it is a great transition into the true holiday spirit. The cold weather slowly leads up to me appreciating those nights where I can stay in and get cozy! #sweaterweather

Ideal fall day: start with a Dunkin pumpkin spice coffee, go for a run on some trails surrounded by brilliant fall foliage, and then top it all off with a Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale. I love the fall, but if I couldn’t enjoy any of those three then I just might start losing it. In all seriousness climate change might be the only thing that could make me dislike my favorite season.

The shifting weather patterns and increases in extreme weather seem to be making it more likely that we go right from the heat of summer to the bone-chilling cold of a New England winter. It’s that brief transition period that really appeals to me.

When the air starts to get a hint of the coming cold, it kind of makes you appreciate the current conditions more and forces you out of the house to enjoy the nature before it’s time to get the snow blower ready.

Do I like fall? Yes. It lasts about 7 months here in Chile, where winter is not that cold anymore and spring is always shy to come out. Fall is the time of the year where anything you like to wear is wearable. Fashion everywhere matches with the streets that are colored with red, yellow, green and brown leaves. And sometimes the cold breeze brings those warm memories with hot chocolate next to the fireplace that tell us winter is about to come.

The main reason to love fall: Winter is coming! ? Cross country skiing is my passion and I spend a lot of time for training, but I like it so much. To be part of the nature with all the different colors and the fresh Swiss air is pure motivation every day for my job as a Key Account Manager by PUMA.

For as long as I can remember, fall has been my favorite time of year. The colors, the holidays in Korea, the changes: it’s all so exciting for me. Every year it feels familiar, but every year there is usually something new and fun to enjoy and do in fall. It is a great time to get together with friends and enjoy the fresh air and good weather.

Dressing up, getting cold feet and saying Bye-Bye to barbecue and hot days. Welcome the cold and the darkness that rules the days. To be honest, I would like to live in a place where day and night are equally long and the temperature is the same all year round.
