“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” ~ L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

It’s that time of year when the air starts to cool, the leaves turn orange, red, and gold, and we begin to reach for warm, soft sweaters to cuddle up in.

Crisp winds chill our cheeks, and the days grow shorter. The smell of pumpkin and apple spice fills the air—and we warm our tummies with steaming cups of cocoa and simmering soups.

It’s a special—nearly magical—time of year. It’s an ending of sorts, yet also the doorway to new beginnings.

To help guide us into this autumn season, here are eight seasonal songs to fall into…enjoy!
