1. Making Christmas cookies
Because even if you don't enjoy making them, you sure do love to eat them.
2. Christmas carols
We don't see these often, but every blue moon we do and we appreciate them.
3. Traditions
Every family celebrates this holiday differently and no matter how weird or in denial you are about your family, you secretly are excited for this time every year.
4. ABC 25 Days of Christmas marathon
Because this is the one time of the year where your TV never leaves this channel.
5. Hallmark Christmas movies
Every girl wants to cuddle up and watch these. GUYS: Be warned. If you are watching with a lady you may see tears. Extra cuddling is needed.
6. FOOD
Do I need to explain?
7. Giving
We all hate spending money, but nothing is better than giving a gift to someone no matter how much it is worth.
8. Receiving
Admit it. It is nice to be given a gift every once in awhile. You deserve it!
9. Family
Some families rarely get to spend time with one another and the Holidays are sometimes the few moments of the year you get to spend with your family. Cherish these moments.
10. Christmas lights and decorations
My favorite part! My sorority sister and I ALWAYS drive around to look at these, while drinking Starbucks of course.
11. Putting up the Christmas tree
Yes, this may sound like a lot of work but it is a blast when you are doing it with the people you care most about. This may be the only time you get creative throughout the year, like me..
12. Candy canes
Peppermint, Starbursts, Jolly Ranchers, Chocolate, etc. The list could go on forever!
13. Christmas music
"The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud and proud for all to hear!"
Must I say more?
14. Gingerbread house
You think it will be a masterpiece and it ends up falling a part and you give up and eat the hard candies that were meant for decorations.
15. Christmas sweaters
Warm and Comfy sweaters that are also adorable?! You can never have too many!
16. Snow on Christmas day (If you are lucky)
Yes, sometimes the cold sucks, BUT you better not deny the fun you have in that fluffy white stuff! Building snowmen, forts, and having a full out World War 3 snowball fight that results in someone getting hurt is always the best part about Christmas.
17. Secret Santa parties
As much as we hate secrets, we LOVE surprises. Oh, and let's be honest, we secretly tell everyone who we have besides the person that we actually have and by the day of everyone knows who everyone has.
18. Christmas stories
These were my absolute favorite growing up! You can never get over the classics and adding to this collection only makes for a more fabulous Christmas!
19. Leaving cookies for Santa (carrots for reindeer)
Yes, Santa is important, but don't forget his Reindeer! They work hard and need energy to drive that sleigh all over the world in one night! My personal favorite was leaving the glitter in the snow or leaving chocolate as Reindeer poop.
20. Sales
Do I need to explain further? Everything goes on sale, which I think is just a scam to spend more money, but hey.. it works on me every year.
21. Christmas Morning
Even though I am 21 (in a half), I still get excited to wake up on Christmas morning! I might not run to see what is under the Christmas Tree, but I am just as excited in my adult way.
22. Break
For all those college students out there, you understand me. We need this and it could be a little longer if I must say so myself.
23. Christmas markets
My hometown has a Christmas Market every year at the beginning of December and it is my favorite thing to go to! We have Santa, homemade fudge, and my personal favorite cinnamon roasted Chestnuts and Pecans. YUM!
24. Christmas scents
Ahhhhh...you can bet that the smell of pumpkin leaves and is replaced by gingerbread, peppermint, and pine cone.
25. Christmas cards
So many designs.. So many options..
