December
My personal ranking:
1. December: The cold and snow still feels new and exciting, and there is so much about Christmas time that is magical and special.
2. November: Anticipation of December, winter, and Christmas time.
3. October: The ultimate fall month, and there is so much that makes fall special. It's not as cold as winter but it's not as hot as summer, the leaves are at their most beautiful, it's prime hiking season, and there are fall-themed foods like apple cider and pumpkin-flavored things.
4. May: Very underrated month. This is when it starts to actually feel like spring, not the false spring of March and April. After all those months of cold weather, it is finally actually warm. Trees and fields also start to become covered in beautiful flowers.
5. June: It's summer, but it's not as hot as July or August.
6. September: After the heat of July and August, it starts to finally become cooler again. Also, fall begins, and fall is an amazing season.
7. January: Christmas is over and it's cold, but the snow is beautiful and winter doesn't feel old yet.
8. July: It's hot but going to the lake is nice.
9. August: Same as July.
10. February: The cold is starting to get old at this point.
11. March: The cold already became old in February, but it's still cold. At least it's maple syrup season.
12. April: The worst month ever. Everyone acts like it's spring, but then acts like it's the craziest thing in the world when it starts snowing, as if that's not how it always is in April. Unlike actual winter, the snow doesn't stick anymore. It's just cold, there's mud everywhere, and the trees are bare. Like March, though, at least it's maple syrup season.

July
This month seems to be most kids' and teens' favorite because it is the only month you are free from school the entire time. This month is great because you have more time to go to places you enjoy and go on vacation.
The only negative is that it is boiling hot in most places during July, and there are lots of bugs.
May and June, but hotter. School is still far enough away, even though a month has passed. This month might be a bit too hot, but it is still nice enough to be outside, especially if it is prior to 1:00 pm or so.
Go out early and enjoy those times, and then stay inside when the sun sets. Once the sun has set, it is beautiful to enjoy outside again.

June
My birth month, baby! My birthday is June 30th! And here's why it's the best month to have a birthday, in my opinion:
1. School is over, even though I graduated!
2. This month has more Disney and Pixar movies out in theaters than November ever did.
3. It's totally warm out, maybe rainy and stormy sometimes, but still awesome!
4. To anybody who are Sonic fans, Sonic's given birthday is June 23rd. That's one week before MY birthday!
June rocks! And will always be the best month to have a birthday!
It's kind of an overrated month in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I think it's still great because that's when you get out of school where I live and it's the beginning of summer, but that's really the only exciting part.
You only do fun things in elementary school, then in high school, it's nothing but review, studying, getting all of your assignments in, and exams. I know in some places, students get out in May, but where I live, we don't get out until the very end of June.
-
October
I know, nobody likes October because it isn't December or in the summer. But, it has some big benefits. Halloween, for one. Thanksgiving for us Canadians is in October. Nothing horrible and world-changing has ever happened in October. October is such a nice and unique name for a month. It isn't too cold, and it always is peaceful and silent if you close your eyes in a private place.
Imagine the cool but beautiful breeze, the only thing you can hear aside from the soft skitter of leaves the breeze has sent across the ground. The colors of the trees and their leaves are great and always nice to see. My birthday is in October, but if my birthday was in January, for example, October would still be my favorite month behind December.

May
My Rankings 1-12:
1. May (It's beautiful in May in New England. The flowers bloom, temperatures hit 80, baseball is on, and it's like Thursday in the week because the summer hype is real. I love it!)
2. October (October is the fall version of May. It's comfortable, you're 20+ days into school and loving it, plus varsity games.)
3. December (December is such a special month. It's the right time to better yourself, and you have it all to look forward to.)
4. February (Special for me. The skiing is awesome, temperatures warm up enough that it actually snows, and it's not bitterly cold. Winter break. The feeling that the end of school is closer than the beginning.)
5. June (The end of school, but often it's bittersweet and sad. The weather is like May, but the trees are darkening to that deep green of summer.)
6. April (May is almost there, the trees start to bloom, and you can get the best of summer and winter.)
7. July (The next school year is far away, and early on in the month, you really miss school, but hey! It's summer!)
8. March (Probably the best month to ski in New England, but besides that, it's pretty eh. February has passed, and May is a couple of months away.)
9. August (My birthday month. School starts at the end of the month, and August feels kind of sad.)
10. September (Sure, the varsity games start, but school is in full swing, and it can be hard to let summer go, especially when it's so hot in the school every September. At least October is next.)
11. November (Ugh, October is done, and the varsity football season is over, but Thanksgiving is great, and the end of this month feels a lot like December.)

November
November, like October, is when the weather begins to deteriorate. It is likely your final opportunity of the year to go outside without layers of coats. It's also your last chance to do anything with the yard until April or May. By this time, the outdoors will most likely look dead. All the leaves would have fallen, and you might even see some snowfall, the first of the season. It might be a bit pretty, but keep in mind that it will likely stay put, though it might still melt if you're lucky.
Enjoy your final opportunities to enjoy the outdoors because you won't get another until March, most likely. Also, once that clock change occurs, the days will be too short for any enjoyment. The sun will set before you even get home.
-
April
April is obviously the best month. My birthday is in April, and it always feels so nice. Even on rainy days, it's so fun and calming to go outside with an umbrella and relax.
If you go on a walk around your neighborhood, it feels nice to have the entire place to yourself, surrounded by the refreshing air. April is just so awesome.
It's also far better than May. May is just so stressful, and I always get sick. It feels way hotter, and all the horrible monsters called wasps and honeybees come out to attack. Just look at those soulless eyes.
(5) April is one month away from May. April is usually a bit nicer than March, however, it might rain a bit too much. Sometimes, there might be constant April showers, but you know what they say, April showers bring May flowers. Many years, there are Easter occurrences, and that is always fun. Also, occurring in April are the ends of some lessons at school. The work calms down.
-
August
(6) August still has nice weather. It just begins to cool down. It can be good or bad, it really just depends on how you look at it.
The main thing that sucks is that school resumes for some, and for others, it is about to resume. The only things that are good are the cooler days, ones where it is more bearable outside, and the other being not winter.
August Adventures by Dale Colbert
The American author and illustrator's favorite month is August because it means the demolition derby, and it's a part of who he is. August-Man is a friendly robot, who drives a demolition derby car and always wins the derby. The eighth month of the year is the only month that doesn't have any American holidays.
-
January
I like January because:
- My birthday is on 19 January (last day of Capricorn too)
- Winter. I love January because, where I live, the weather is perfect, not too hot and not too cold.
January is indeed a beautiful month. It starts with new hope, new dreams, and new goals. It's the first month, so make it a beautiful, hopeful, fun start to your new year. It's really good.
I live in Australia, and it's summer in January. Also, it's my birth month, and I love it. If you don't believe me, go to Australia in January. Because the seasons are the other way around.
-
March
(4) This month might be a bit underrated. March might be a bit away from May, but it still is nice. Getting the weather to be warmer than the last three cold and miserable months is just amazing. Having your first opportunity to enjoy the outdoors after three months without it is just amazing.
There might be a few snowfalls occasionally, but it doesn't matter too much, as it normally won't stay for long. The snow normally turns to water and puddles around March as well. Also, once the clock springs ahead, the days are finally nice again.
The fifth best month. The snow is turning into water, floods and puddles all over, by the rivers, in the yards, across the road, and the weather is beginning to become something other than miserable, cold, dark, gloomy, and snowy.
Once daylight saving time occurs, the sun sets at a more decent time and you can actually see some sunlight.

February
February is a very beautiful month. Actually, it might be my favorite! While it may not bring Christmas snow, February can experience very beautiful snowfalls, perfect for sledding. February is so underrated because it is unique. It's not as cold as December or January, but it's not as warm as March or April when the weather starts warming up. It sits perfectly in the middle.
Has everyone forgotten about Valentine's Day? Even if you don't have a lover, you still have friends and family to celebrate with and tell them how much you love them. Also, the candy is pretty good, haha.
But everyone is entitled to their opinion, so please don't hate on me! I just find February to be fascinating and unique. It definitely deserves to be higher on this list!
-
September
September has a special, indescribable aura that you can't find elsewhere. It's simply magical, a time for new beginnings, relief from the summer heat, and the grand return.
September is the most underrated month. I mean, just because of school doesn't mean it's the worst. People hate school, but in September, it's not that bad. It's more like October or November when it starts to suck. So, come on people, don't put a beautiful month at the bottom just because of school.
I understand sales might not be the best in September, but that's because the season of good weather is almost over. September might be the last nice month. In my opinion, September is just the fall version of May, starting with warm weather at the beginning and moving to cooler weather at the end. May starts with cooler days first, then warmer days. Also, this might be your last opportunity to enjoy the outdoors without being forced to wear coats or sweatshirts. So enjoy the remainder of the good weather you have, and don't take for granted the few good moments you have.
September being at the bottom kind of hurt me, as it's not the worst in any way. Something like December, January, or February belongs at the bottom, not September.
