The fall season is such a nice time of year. The leaves begin to change colors, rain and snow begin to fall and the cold air makes for a perfect excuse to brew hot cocoa and warm tea. This season, Jenny McCarthy and the GR team thought it would be fun to share some of our favorite things about fall and we hope you will add to this list in the comments section.
