November: A month full of colors, thoughts and family time in Miltenberg!

November, the 11th and penultimate month of the year, brings with it a special atmosphere. It is often described as a month of contrasts: outside the fog and rain rage, while inside the bright colors of the autumn leaves shine. Not only younger generations have their say, but also older ones, who associate this month with a variety of memories and activities. My-News.de spoke to various people from Cologne.

Lisa, 8 years old, is a real autumn fan. She particularly enjoys November because of the lantern making and the fun playing in the leaves. When the weather outside becomes uncomfortable, she invites friends over to do crafts and bake cookies together. While November is full of joy and creative activity for the youngest, it looks completely different for the older generations.

Reflection and peace in November

Peter, 17 years old and caught up in the stressful school years, finds November to be more of a challenge. Tests and work weigh on his shoulders. But in the evening he enjoys the quiet, foggy atmosphere of the city while listening to music and switching off. For older people, however, November often has a deeper meaning. Anton, 70 years old, reports that during this time he likes to visit his late wife's grave and take walks in the park. These months are a thoughtful but also grateful time for him.

The image of a quiet, thoughtful time is complemented by 68-year-old Eva, who feels comfortable at home with a cup of tea. For them, November is an invitation to stop and meet friends, even at the cemetery. 49-year-old Bianca strikes the same calm tone. She sees November as an ideal opportunity to bring the family together and think about health and togetherness.

Shared experiences and a view of Advent

The Cologne cityscape changes in November, and Georg, 53, also sees the months as a time of calm. Long walks with the family and evenings together indoors are very popular for him. “It’s the little moments of happiness that count,” says Georg. These special moments that connect across generations act as support in these often stormy and cold days.

Whether young or old, all voices emphasize the anticipation of the contemplative Advent days that inevitably approach with the end of November. In fact, November is known not only for its melancholic mood, but also for its meteorological peculiarities. In the hemisphere we are in, the temperatures are now plummeting and the fog is shrouding everything in a mysterious light. Even though November's birthstone, the topaz, which symbolizes friendship, and the chrysanthemum as a birth flower, are everyday associations, everyone sees this month very differently.

In summary, November is a month that overcomes generational differences and is characterized by reflection, nature experiences and time together. In a world that is often hectic and noisy, this month invites you to pause and appreciate the beauty of simply being together. And what does it say? There's something coming up in November!
