What’s your favorite month of the year? Why?

Daily writing prompt

This one is easy for me. I am a summer kinda guy. Spring is nice, fall is okay, winter is an asshole. Summer? Summer is the man. Therefore my favorite month of the year is a summer month. It could really be any of them, but I am going to go with July. Why?

Summer starts in June and June is great. Summer ends in September so September is kind of a jerk. August is great, but while summer doesn’t end in that month, it sort of does. Summer vacation for the kids ends in August so that’s a bummer. Also, the weather often starts cooling off by the end, so that’s depressing. Worst of all is just the knowledge that the good times are about to end. It’s just sad on an existential level.

That leaves July. Also, July has a big summer holiday here in the United States. Independence Day is July 4th. We celebrate with cookouts and family and by just embracing the wonderfulness that is the summer time. I love it. Those are the reasons why July is my favorite month.

How about a couple of honorable mentions. June and August are obviously favorites thanks to the weather. February is another favorite, despite the freezing cold and constant threat of snow. My step son and my wife both have birthdays in February. One of my nephews does too. May is notable too as my step daughter’s birthday is in May. Mine is too, but I’m old so who cares. October is also notable because about 400 of my relatives were born in October.

So there you have it. My favorite month is July. Now that you know that, you can get on with your day. Have a good Tuesday, everyone.

  2. I like December for the same reason you like July – summer. Although December is the start of summer rather than the middle. It’s also birthday month for me, my dad, two of my kids, two of my grandkids, and My Knight. It’s a very social month and it’s warm. I’m entirely sick of rain and nonsense spring weather! 🙂

  5. For me, it’s June, because it’s before the kids are out of school. And, the weather is perfect for hitting the trails and getting some camping in before the full extent of the summer heat.
