Personal Narrative Essay: Fall Traditions

Fall Traditions

Most individuals here in the south have to endure these hot and humid summer days consisting of over one-hundred degree heat. In this particular weather we can’t do too many outside activities without us sweating profusely. I would sometimes break out in a sweat by just walking in the heat to my car from my air-conditioned apartment. Mother Nature decided to give us a break from the excruciating heat by easing up on everyone with the season of fall. In the fall season some people enjoy different traditions that involve outdoor activities. We can sit outside on the porch and feel the brisk wind pass us while admiring the different colors of the landscape. We can also attend events at the park, lake, or even the beach

Some would go out as a family, or The Father would take his son out in the woods to teach him how to hunt. I could always tell fall is here when I would look to the sky and see a flock of birds flying down south for the winter. We can also enjoy the tradition of pumpkin picking in the fall. Some of the children agree that there is nothing better than picking the perfect pumpkin for painting, carving, and making a delicious pumpkin pie. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays which also is celebrated during the fall season. Thanksgiving is an annual family tradition that started with the pilgrims and the Native Indians uniting in a harvest festival during the six-teen hundreds. In the modern day we now come together to have a Thanksgiving feast as a family enjoying each other’s company. During the Thanksgiving Holidays I would always enjoy traveling to see family that I haven’t seen in a long period of time. Another fall tradition we have is football, which is one of the most popular sports events held during the fall season. This event is played mainly outdoors consisting of kids in little league all the way to professionals in the National Football League. They are all working hard striving to obtain one mutual goal. They want to be the best team in their particular league. I would enjoy going to watch football games with my grandfather during every fall football
