It's my favorite time of the year, the two weeks between Thanksgiving and two weeks after Thanksgiving, a microseason I am lovingly deciding to name "Fall's Last Gasp".
This is the only time of the year you're thinking "Why hasn't it snowed yet?" and "It's snowing already?!" at the same time.
Schoolchildren everywhere are praying to a god they don't believe in for a snowstorm, or a bus driver to die, or something, anything, to get out of school. Once they get a taste for vacation at Thanksgiving, the hunger becomes insatiable. But there's always that one bitch who is like, "Um... actually, if we use more than two snow days, the district has to add those days back on at the end of the year." Like, okay nerd, maybe try living in the present for once in your life??
My favorite part about Fall's Last Gasp? Honey, the wind. It's freezing and terrible, isn't that awesome? Jk. What I do like about the sub-freezing wind chill, though, is that everybody dresses wrong for the weather. They think it's gonna be a cool 52 but the wind chill brings it down to -6. Nobody knows if they're supposed to wear a scarf or not. It's the best.
I've commemorated this epic time in our lives with, of course, a playlist. I hope these 10 songs will make you think "I don't get it" and also feel sad.
Happy Fall's Last Gasp!
