1.Bundle up

The awful thing about summer is that you can't peel off all your clothes no matter how overheated you become. Winter is the opposite: you can always add on more layers! Bundling up can be really fun and cozy, not to mention amusing to your friends.

2.Start watching Christmas movies

3.Justify ordering Pumpkin Spice Lattes

Enough said.

4.Prepare for Thanksgiving

Stock up now before the grocery stores get crazy and full!

5.Get ready for gift exchanging

Make your holiday wish list and begin asking loved ones what they'd like to receive in terms of presents. As with Thanksgiving, you can never be too prepared for seasonal shopping.
