Why September is the best month ever.
The carefree days of summer are over. Well technically summer’s not over for another two weeks, but the way everyone’s crying about it you’d think we just fast forwarded from August to the dead of winter.
Personally, I couldn’t be happier. Because we have just entered the best month of the year. What makes it so great? I’m glad you asked.
Here’s why September is the most awesomest month ever.
- My wife was born in September. (I have to put this first, obviously).
- You can visit just about anywhere in this great country and safely assume the weather will be comfortable. (Except Florida. The weather always sucks in Florida).
- The month begins with a 3-day weekend. (And the extra day off is to celebrate labor. Love your sense of irony, September).
- A whole new season of TV starts. (Welcome back to our living rooms, David Caruso. We’ve missed you).
- You can still go to the beach but it is no longer overrun with idiots. (And I say this knowing full well I was one of those idiots for years).
- Football reclaims its ownership of Sunday afternoons. (And Sunday nights. And Monday nights. And Saturdays. And some Thursdays).
- You can finally start looking forward to the big holiday trifecta (Halloween, Thanksgiving and Wear a Plunger on your Head Day).
- Kids go back to school. (Stop shedding those fake tears, parents. You’re not fooling anybody).
- Pre-season hockey starts. (No, I’m not Canadian).
- You can start easing up on the workout routine. (Who has time to work out with all that football watching)?
Welcome back September. Your only problem is that you go by too quickly. 30 days is just not enough. Maybe you could steal a day or two from January. Because I think we can all agree that January sucks.

I could not disagree more. With the exception of your wife’s birthday, September is the WORST month of all.
-Travel anywhere? I work in advertising. I can’t get the time off.
-Extra day off? I work in advertising. I don’t get a day off, I just get to come in at noon instead of 9.
-New TV season? Great, more shows about lawyers, cops and crime scenes. Where’s the creativity?
-The idiots who were on the beach are now wearing team jerseys with someone else’s last name on the back at their local sports bar while consuming cheap wings and beer and yelling “Offsides!” or “That’s a flag!” for 8 hours.
-School? Actually, you have a point there.
-Hockey? I thought we only cared about that during the Olympics.
-Easing up on the workout? Better not. Especially with all the cheap wings and beer you’re consuming.
But, that’s just me. Great post. Enjoy the remaining 19 days of your favorite month!
