If you are anything like me as soon as the clock strikes midnight on November 1, you instantly grow reindeer ears and throw up candy canes. Don't get me wrong, I love Halloween. Getting my spook on is one of my favorite things in the world. But the moment Halloween is over I go into Christmas mode. There's no doubt in my mind the reason I love Christmas so much is that my mom is pretty much Mrs. Clause herself. In our household my mom starts playing Christmas music on November 1, we have three Christmas trees that are put up before Thanksgiving and don't take them down until mid-January. So clearly, Christmas is a pretty big deal at my house.
I just love the feeling of Christmas and how it seems to transform people. I love that people tend to be more generous and caring during the weeks leading up to Christmas. I think Christmas time just makes people well, better people. I guess that is why I try to make the Christmas season go on for as long as I possibly can.
If you also have a love for Christmas that is stronger than your love for most things then you might just be a crazy Christmas addict, and that is the best kind of addict in the entire world.
Here are 11 signs that you are Christmas's biggest fan.
1. November 1st = December 1st
As soon as the clock strikes midnight on November 1st all signs of being spooky are put away. Everything is Christmas. Christmas time is the only time that matters.
2. As soon as November hits you change the lock screen on your phone to something Christmasy
I seriously have a Pinterest board dedicated to Holiday-themed lock screens and I honestly have a hard time choosing which one to use. So, I usually end up changing my lockscreen about four or five times during the holiday season.
3. You bring out the ugly Christmas sweaters as early as possible

I enter Goodwill during the Christmas season more than I do any other time of the year. I am all about going thrifting and finding the most hideous Christmas sweaters humanly possible. The uglier the sweater the better.
4. You try to convince your friends to take a Christmas card picture
Lucky for me my friends are just as crazy as I am and would probably be so down for this. Of course, we would wear our ugliest of Christmas sweaters and dress up our cats.
5. Your heart starts to flutter when you see that Starbucks has their Christmas cups again
6. Once it's November Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé become your favorite artists
Let's face it, these two just know how to do Christmas right.
7. You get (kind of) excited to see all the Christmas time engagements
It makes you a little sad because it reminds you that you are very alone for the holidays, but you can't help but stare at all the pretty pictures of hands with big rocks holding Christmas Starbucks cups.
8. You have the ultimate Spotify Christmas playlist

I clearly have a thing for Ariana Grande Christmas music and Big Time Rush.
9. You want to do all the stereotypical holiday activities
You want to watch all the Christmas movies with your family, make hot cocoa and snuggle up by the fire, make Christmas cookies that probably won't end up tasting good and taking all the selfies in your Christmas pajamas.
10. You will waste all the gas in the world to go look at Christmas lights
My family has gone around looking at Christmas lights after buying hot chocolate for as long as I can remember. It pretty much is a staple part of it being Christmas and I will "waste" all the gas in the world to drive around because to me looking at some amazing Christmas lights will never be a waste.
11. Freeform (ABC Family) becomes your absolute favorite channel during December
You've seen all of these movies 100 times, but duh you're going to watch them again.
