When does the shift from summer to autumn/Halloween begin for you?










Some months have a feel. Some months don't. Some months are just "nothing months." Some people endure. Accept the nothing month for what it is. Other people take a nothing month and say "If nothing's going on, I'm taking this time to at least pre-game for whatever the next season/mood/vibe is." Even if you haven't seen this Sarah's Scribbles comic, you've heard of people who take the "empty parking lot" that is August and use it as a time to look forward to the dark times.



But what is August to you? And when does fall or the Halloween season or whatever name you wanna give it, begin from your perspective?

A lot of people are not feeling the fall vibe until mid-October?

I'm always in the Halloween mood, but half the year I'm stuck waiting for everybody else to catch up.

Halloween doesn't really feel "real" to me until after the first week of October is already past, but for me summer ends way earlier.

It might be just a mindset burned into my brain from years of school, or maybe just because of how weather patterns in the Northeast work (or maybe because of the traditional "shore" season in NJ), but I generally think of summer ending on or around Labor Day. I also tend to think of the "beginning" of summer being around Memorial Day - the general mentality is that you open your pool for the year for Memorial Day, then close it for Labor Day.

Most of September and the first week of October or so is more of a general "fall" feeling.

Actually, it never really begins for me. I don't like fall, and I can't stand winter. I'm not a fan of Halloween either. I am usually forced into the mood in mid-October.

So do you have very little/no appreciation for any holiday seasons?

All I know is if there's Christmas in July, how come we can't get Halloween in May? So not cool...

I compare it to Christmas. Christmas/New Year's is often lumped in with Thanksgiving. It's generally accepted that you start the "Christmas season" starting in November. And if you really love Christmas, earlier than that.

Therefore, the same should apply to Halloween. Starting in September, or even earlier if you really love fall/Halloween.

I wouldn't call that a "Halloween" feeling, though.

It's like saying that when summer "begins" in the beginning of June it's a 4th of July feeling (it is not).

It kinda is though, you go to a seasonal aisle when summer kicks off, it's rife with reds and whites and blues. 4th of July is the Christmas of summer.

Christmas colors are red and green. White too I guess.

I do that but would celebrate it more if I had the money to just be able to buy whatever decoration or food for recipes I wanted.

To clarify, do you mean Halloween specifically, or anything autumnal in vibe at all? I may be explaining this wrong.

Halloween is deadass two weeks into winter where I live. There's snow on the ground at least half the time. It's a big reason why I never cared for it.

Living in a place with no seasons except summer I don't really get excited for winter and fall holidays anymore. They don't feel the same as when I was growing up.

It's important to stay in tune with the season no matter where you live. For instance, Dallas is about as hot as it gets for a lot of people. Well into October you might see no leaf change. And yet, this is what Dallas becomes during the Halloween season.
