8 Signs You're Too Festive To Handle
Odyssey

First of all, I've never seen a more accurate depiction of myself than the following:

I'm the type of person that's feeling holly and jolly as soon as my Halloween festivities are over. This year, I was already done going to all your typical costume parties by the 23rd. After that, I began dying for November to come, so that it would finally be somewhat acceptable to start jamming out to Mariah Carey and decorating everything I own in sparkly reds and greens.

November is finally here, and believe me, I've been jingling my friggin' bells since 11:59 P.M. on Halloween. I'll never know why, but I'm always at my happiest when it starts to get cold outside and every store you go to is decked out in Christmas decorations. I guess they call it "the most wonderful time of the year" for a reason, right? (I'm sorry, I hate my puns just as much as you do.)

If you think you're a hoe hoe hoe for the holiday season, you can probably relate to these 8 festive feelings.

1. Your Christmas playlist is loaded up and ready to be heard by anyone who enters your car or house.

And it's fully completed with this gem.

2. You've made, like, three cups of hot cocoa per day for the past week.

Complete with whipped cream, marshmallows, and maybe some extra flurries of hot cocoa powder or holiday-colored sprinkles.

3. All of your favorite blankets, fuzzy socks, and big sweaters are making a reappearance.

This is the most acceptable time of the year to look like a grandparent, why miss that opportunity?!

4. You're beginning to eat peppermint-flavored everything.

Gotta follow the four main food groups: "Candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup."

5. You're legitimately offended by people who think November is "too early" for, what I call, Pre-Christmas.

You're just too late, ya big ole Grinch.

6. You probably want to have a gingerbread house-building gathering at some point in the near future.

These might be the most competitive of all Christmas festivities, but they're so fun and definitely worth it.

7. You're pregaming for the "25 Days Of Christmas" with movies that subtly incorporate Christmas into them.

Let's face it -- any movie with Christmas in it is a Christmas movie. "Mean Girls"? Christmas movie. "Edward Scissorhands"? You guessed it. Christmas movie.

8. You're already almost done Christmas shopping.

You have to go full-blown Santa on your loved ones. Nobody who you care about will end the Christmas season empty-handed!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
