Cozy Clothes
Because it gets cooler during
fall, we get to wear cozy
clothes like sweaters, scarves,
and jackets. It's a time for
warm drinks like hot
chocolate and spiced tea.
Conclusion

season when the leaves
change color, the air
becomes cooler, and we
celebrate holidays with family
and friends. It's a time to
enjoy the beauty of nature
and make wonderful
memories.
Thanks!
