GTKY - What is your favorite season / time of year?

Do you love it for the food, the family, the decorating?
I have to go with Fall. I know FL doesn't really have a season other than HOT, but I love the colors, the smells, the clothes. My favorite time is when I can start putting up fall decor, with the windows open & a pumpkin spice candle burning.

Fall, definitely. I live in upstate NY, so we really get the quintessential fall experience. Amazing foliage, pumpkin farms, apple picking, cider mills, cool nights. I'm excited just thinking about it.
I already stocked up on fall scented candles and hand soaps from bath and body works. Yum.
It's a tie between fall and summer.
I love fall for the crisp "sweater weather," leaves, pumpkins, mums, apple cider, holiday prep.
But I also LOVE the beach, watermelon, days at the park, and my shorter work schedule in the summer. It's generally a slower paced, relaxing time for me (not this summer, naturally).
Edited: spelling
I'm gonna say fall too. When I was a young nerd, there was nothing I loved more than going school shopping and getting the perfect binder and color coding folders and notebooks. When I was a teacher nerd, there was nothing better than setting up the classroom and meeting eager students (by winter they are so less eager). And now, it's fall because I love apple picking and want to have our LO here.
Also, apple pie, apple crisp, apple cider. OM NOM NOM.

Psssh... all you fall lovers. Its nice for sure but give me the heat, the sun, the pool, the margaritas with all the fore-mentioned. I could live through a summer day over and over again.
Food, decor? Nope! Just relaxing in the summer heat. It makes me happy.

I think I will make a run this weekend to get some smell good stuff!
How could I forget Pumpkin Spice Lattes?!?
Although summer also brings Iced Coconut Mochas.
Clearly, I need to cut down on my Starbucks consumption.
This...I live in Upstate NY too and I love the fall time (except the rain) and into winter..I love to decorate for Fall and Winter/Christmas, its the only time of year I decorate...lol....I love burning cinnamon scented candles (even though I burn then year round)
While Fall is a close second (for the food, weather & holidays)...
It's definitely spring for me! Winters are long in Wisconsin, so when it starts to get green outside, you can see the sun again and step outside in jeans and a sweatshirt, I just become a whole new person!
ETA: oh and we're baseball fans in our house (more than Football) - so I'll have to add: Opening Day!

I'm with you on this one, LB. Fall is just so gorgeous and it's not too hot but not too cold. I love the colours and the crisp air. DH and I got married in the fall and I'm so happy LO is going to be born in the fall!

Fall, hands down.
Football, tailgating, sweater weather, the smell of leaves, the food...
I also love going back to school, even as a teacher. The students are actually excited to be there, the halls are clean, and everything smacks of new-ness
.
I couldn't pick just one. I LOVE Fall-- and haven't really gotten to enjoy it the past few years as I've been working full time/taking classes full time. I love football/open windows and the smell.
I adore winter because of the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and the first few snows.. (after that-- beat it!!)
I love spring because of the weather (open windows) and the blooming trees and life returning into nature.
And I adore summer for what it is-- the heat, the smell of chlorine, a good beer on the back porch, lightening bugs!
They all have their down falls though.

Fall in New England - wish it were longer!! I love apple picking, making apple pie, drinking warm apple cider (especially when I can add a splash of rum, lol). Fall clothes are the best, I can't wait to wear my jeans and sweaters, post baby, when the weather cools but it's not cold enough for a jacket. I also love the smell of pumpkin spice candles, mmmm!
I should also mention my obsession with Halloween!! I can't wait to go pick the perfect pumpkin and choose my design for a jack o'lantern! I get my DH, Mom and sister involved and we have a little carving party. I also have scary movie nights and make themed treats. My DH had never dressed up until he met me and I made him go all out in costume and party in Salem, MA our first Halloween together. My cat even gets in on the action (see my avatar pic). I can't wait for our 1st Halloween as a family, I'm narrowing down our options for family themed costumes :-)
Exactly this, I love upstate NY in the fall. I also really like decorating for fall/halloween and then getting ready for the holidays. And all the yummy fall foods and fall smells. Humm might have to break out some of my apple cider candles early this year!
All of this!
LB, why no clicky poll? Didn't you learn this lesson in another post recently? (though obviously fall would kill it)
Anyway, I'd normally say fall for most of the reasons previously stated (cooler weather, fashion, food, lead up to holidays, back to school excitement, etc.). I'm also a NYer, and NY falls just kick ass. The anniversary of my sister's death, however, is October 8th so that has put a damper on fall for the last few years for my fam. It'll be nice to have a new baby to focus on and celebrate this year (and all to come)!
I also love spring, especially since moving to Canada. The winter, even the mild Toronto winter, is far too long so spring (or beginning summer since spring sometimes doesn't really exist here) is awesome. The first day you can have a beer on a patio is a good day!
Both Summer and Fall.
Summer because I LOVE the beach.
Fall because I love the change from the hot temps to the cool weather, light sweaters, and Thanksgiving with my crazy family.

Hands down, Christmas. I love fall, but Christmas is my favorite. I'm excited that since DH has mounted our TV over the fireplace, I'll have another corner of the house to put another tree in. Heehee..

Summer, fall and winter. It's pretty rainy here in Oregon during the fall.. and the summers get hot but not TOO hot. I love Christmas and holiday season and the lights and peppermint mochas and cuddling up by the fire.
I also love fall for all the PPs reasons.. especially pumpkin time! and football!
I'm also so ready for summer by the time it gets here because it's always so rainy. This summer was hot as shiit.. last summer we only had like 10 days that hit anywhere near 80-90.
Not a big fan of spring... Allergies suck

My favorite is spring. Then summer, then fall.
My least favorite is winter (but I can handle it from Thanksgiving until New Year's)... that stretch from Mid-January until mid-March is brutal IMO.
I love all seasons really for a little and am glad I live in a changing climate, but could do without as long of a winter as we have.

YES! Football! This baby had a Superbowl disappointment early on... hopefully he gets to watch a better season first hand!!
