Starbucks' holiday coffee flavors like the peppermint mocha, gingerbread, and eggnog much like the Pumpkin Spice Latte and the Frappula from Halloween are a lot better closer to their actual holidays, am I right? So is eggnog especially spiked. That's not quite a drink just for December 5th on a Thursday afternoon.

4.Not All Traditions Are Mandatory

Sure, you'll help decorate the tree and you'd love to watch the animated Christmas specials. Maybe not every single time that "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" is on and hanging lights across the roof feels a little excessive. Hot chocolate every night and we have to decorate the dorm too? You love all of the little touches that help make the holiday great but you certainly thrive if everything isn't red and green for 30 days.

5.You Still Appreciate The Little Things

Even though you and Christmas have more of a friends with benefits situation you still love the little activities that go along with it like buying presents for your roommates and/or loved ones, looking at Christmas lights and trees around campus and at home, any holiday activities on campus, and more. Eating Christmas dinner with your family and trying out all of your new gifts makes you excited for the new year and so happy that everyone who is fervently obsessed with Christmas as the end all be all holiday are at least a bit more tolerable until next year.
