14 Signs You're Addicted To Christmas

Christmas is called, "the most wonderful time of the year" for a reason. It's a time to remember all the great memories you have had all throughout the year, and to find a way to give back whether it be in a shiny box topped with a bow or not. You also can't forget about all the fun events, funny movies, delicious food, and warm winter apparel! OK, maybe I'm going a little overboard... I guess I'm slightly obsessed with Christmas and the general holiday season, so here are 14 signs you could be too!

1. Thanksgiving is cool, but let's be honest... you already have Christmas on your mind even before Thanksgiving day.

You may be a little guilty of not showing Thanksgiving any love, but we can't be blamed... Christmas requires major preparation!

2. You get overly excited when Starbucks releases their holiday drink menu.

There's something so festive about the delicious holiday drinks, and adorable red Starbucks cups! You know that once the red cups are out, the yummy drinks are too. caramel brûlée latte, gingerbread latte, toffee nut latte, and peppermint mocha — there's so much to be excited for!

3. You start to create a holiday playlist, even before December arrives.

Mariah Carey knows how to cheer up any holiday event... or, even when we're driving alone in our cars. A sincere apology goes out to anyone who has to witness our embaraassing dance moves.

4. You take serious pride in decorating your Christmas tree.

Coming up with an actual arrangement of where you're going to place each ornament is essential. We only have Christmas once a year, so we have to put all our effort into our Christmas tree!

5. You make a list of all the Christmas events you want to attend.

There are so many fun things to do during the holidays, and you are always up for attending all of them. The more the better!

6. You participate in as many Secret Santas as you can.

Being a secret santa is the closest thing one can do if they want to get a feel for what Santa has to experience every holiday season. The entire gift giving process is a fun way to exercise your creativity and thoughtfulness!

7. Ice-skating is always a must.

Does it matter if you're good or not?! Even if you're like Bambi on ice, ice skating is something that simply has to be done during the holiday season.

8. You pull out the christmas themed fuzzy socks, and slap on your onesie.

Wearing a onesie during the winter season is probably the most acceptable time to wear one... it keeps you warm, and it makes you look like you're ready for Christmas morning. #workit

9. You know the movie "Elf" word for word.

And the more you watch it, the more you can relate to Buddy's love for Christmas.

10. You have no problem being the designated baker for Christmas parties.

There's nothing better than the smell of freshly baked goods... and why not fill your home with the pleasant aroma of gingerbread cookies or yummy cupcakes.

11. You always know how to make an ugly Christmas sweater, not so ugly.

No one can rock an ugly sweater better than you. How? Because, you wear it with pride! #workit

12. You love Christmas shopping for everyone.

Whether it be for your mom, dad, sister, brother, best friend, your creepy neighbor, or even your'e annoying teacher, Christmas shopping is so addicting that you can find a gift for practically anyone.

13. You're convinced that Santa Claus is real.

Regardless of what anyone has told you, you still like the idea that perhaps a big man in a red suit and a white beard does exist.

14. You binge watch Christmas movies all day long.

Christmas movies are so fun to watch, especially when it brings all the family together. You know you're obsessed with Christmas when you have no limitations as to how many Christmas related movies you watch. The more, the merrier!

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.
