12 Signs You're A Christmas Fanatic As Told By "Elf"
The Daily Beast

It is finally November, and the only thing I can think about is the one and the only holiday, Christmas. I know I am not the only person out there that thinks about Christmas all year long. Seriously though, on December 26th, I already have the "Christmas Blues." Better yet, I have them the late evening of Christmas Day, and from that day on, I anxiously count down until this wonderful time of year. Here are 12 signs that, like me, you are an absolute Christmas fanatic:

1. You put up your tree the day after Halloween.

Or before Halloween even happens. It's okay. Really. It is.

2. When the 25 Days of Christmas schedule is released, you get abnormally excited.

Even though we could easily watch these movies on our own time, anytime, we still need to watch them on the fixed schedule that Freeform (previously ABC Family) provides for us because that is what we call tradition.

3. Nothing gives you more enjoyment than drinking one of Starbucks' holiday beverages in their holiday themed cup.

On November 10th, you will be able to drink a Chestnut Praline, Caramel Brulée, or a Peppermint Mocha in a RED cup. If you're a true Christmas fanatic, you will completely understand that the cup truly makes a difference, and why this is so very important.

4. You have a designated holiday playlist with the best Christmas songs of all time.

And you play and sing along to it all day, every day.

5. You take your decorating very seriously.

From the candles to the tree to the lights, everything has to be perfection.

6. Every day, you plan to do at least one Christmas-related activity.

Major emphasis on the "at least" part...

7. You watch "Elf" repeatedly.

It is one of the best Christmas movies of all time. It never gets old. We don't know why, but it simply doesn't.

8. When it snows for the first time, you cannot contain yourself.

You even cry a little.

9. On certain days, your excitement levels are over the top.

We can't predict when it will happen, but when it does, we embrace it.

10. You suddenly don't care about your dieting. You just eat as you please.

Cookies, milk, and eggnog galore.

11. On the day that Santa comes to your neighborhood on the fire truck, you still run outside.

People may look at us weirdly, but we do not care.

12. And when Christmas is over, you officially become depressed

Don't go, Christmas. Please.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
