2. More hot chocolate for you.

3. More food for you overall. Can you sense a theme here?

4. You don't have to stress about getting the perfect gift for someone else.

5. You don't have to worry about someone else getting you the perfect gift.

6. But what about mistletoe?

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.

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.
