12 Things People Who Are Obsessed With Christmas Do

It's the most wonderful time of the year, well...kind of.

Halloween is finally over, Starbucks has replaced Pumpkin Spice Lattes for Peppermint Mocha, some radio stations have switched to playing 24/7 Christmas music, and the Hallmark Channel has finally started playing their corny Christmas movies once again. While it may technically be November, this does not stop any Christmas enthusiast.

Instead of trick-or-treating, we throw our pumpkins away, string up some Christmas lights, contemplate putting up the Christmas tree, and usually run around in our Christmas socks belting out Mariah Carey's song, "All I Want For Christmas" at the top of our lungs.

"Why are we like this?" is a question commonly asked and all I can say is there is something truly magical in the way Christmas time makes us all feel.

While life is busy and crazy sometimes, Christmas is the time to reflect and appreciate that another year has ended with so many memories to remember. We aren't crazy people, I believe we just like to welcome Christmas sooner into our hearts because we like the joy and peace this time of year brings. Here are 12 signs you're a Christmas enthusiast.

1. Mariah Carey's "Merry Christmas" album is on repeat starting November 1st.

2. You put up your Christmas Tree before Thanksgiving.

3. Bronner's Christmas Wonderland in Frakenmuth, MI is #christmasdecorationgoals.

4. You buy multiple packs of the Christmas tree and snowman Pillsbury sugar cookie packs.

5. You have strung an ungodly amount of Christmas lights around your room.

6. You buy anything pine scented so your house smells like a Christmas tree.

7. You find yourself wishing for just a tiny amount of snow in the middle of November.

8. You only watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade for the Christmas music and floats.

9. You have already bought everyone's Christmas presents.

10. You have watched "Elf," "The Santa Claus," "It's A Wonderful Life," "Frosty the Snowman," and "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" 30 times and it's not even December.

11. You have a countdown on your phone for how many more days there are until Christmas.

12. You don't like anyone who says it is "too early to start celebrating Christmas".

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
