Northern Hemisphere Users: How are you preparing for Autumn/Winter?

[Your Biggest Fan]

Is there anything special you do to get you hyped for Autumn and Winter? Or is there are certain things you get to help you through the short days and cold months to come?

I usually buy candles but I got to burn through the ones I already have before I buy more. In the fall there's a list of shows and movies I watch (ie: Over the Garden Wall and Coraline). I like to buy seasonal flavored snacks too! Baking is another thing, but I've been doing that since the start of Covid so that's not very special anymore.

What do you guys do?

I am excited to finally wear pants and long sleeves. I am very tall so my limbs look so long and awkward in shorts and tees. 

Also, the holidays get closer together in these months so it makes everything a bit more bearable

i break out my more seasonal clothes and usually buy a candle or air freshener to make my space smell more like what i associate autumn with

i’m not one for christmas decorations even though i celebrate, so most of my winter preparation is done through making myself and my apartment warm and comfortable

I'm excited that it won't be hot 24/7 anymore. Also bye AC.

I don't. I live in Texas. There's no point. Sometimes we'll get fall then it'll be warm in the afternoon. We only get a couple of weeks of winter in my area of Texas.

Nothing specific, I put my boots and jackets where I can easily grab them for daily use in my hallway. I'm hyped to wear knitted clothes again since those are my favorite attire lol

It snowed yesterday, so naturally we found out that our furnace died (it was somewhere between 25 and 36 years old; it was replaced today). So I pulled out some long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, and a sweater vest for today's outfit. It'll be close to 90° F on Saturday, so I'm back to a t-shirt. I've been working from home and will probably do so for quite a while, so I haven't been wearing structured clothing because comfort. I brought my giant bottle of ibuprofen home from my office, so I'm prepared for the joint pain.
