9 Signs You're Getting Into the Christmas Spirit Too Early

We all know that one person who waits around for Nov. 1 as if it is its own holiday. This person simply cannot wait for Christmas to arrive, so he/she decides to dedicate nearly two months to celebrating it. Most of us have the self-restraint to get through Thanksgiving before trimming the tree, but these select few are ruled purely by their excitement for the holiday season and are ready to start celebrating as soon as November comes.

Here are nine signs you're getting into the Christmas spirit a bit too early.

1. You're counting down the minutes until you can rip down the Halloween decorations and put up the Christmas ones.

As of 12:01 a.m. on November 1st, Halloween decorations no longer have a place on the wall. It's Santa's turn.

2. And while you're putting up the decorations on November 1st at 12:01 a.m., you're singing every word of "All I Want For Christmas is You" and doing your best Mariah Carey impression.

Unfortunately, Justin Bieber isn't around for you to serenade.


3. You continue singing Christmas songs everywhere you go, ignoring the fact that the radio is not even playing Christmas music yet.


4. The day it snows for the first time, you run outside, ready to embrace the white fluffs of happiness that are sure to appear on Christmas morning.

...and your roommates reluctantly follow you out, looking like this because they're not in the mood to babysit you today.


5. And every other time it snows after that, you're crossing your fingers that you have a snow day because you just want to play.

...'Tis the season to be jolly, after all.


6. You've already bought all of your presents. And wrapped them. You just couldn't help yourself.


7. You've watched this scene from "Mean Girls" to "get you into the spirit." Several times.


8. You rope in everyone that you can, determined to spread Christmas cheer. No one is safe, not even the dog.


9. And when you're ready to put up the tree on the second day of November, no one can stop you.

...You ignore the fact that the Christmas spirit has yet to come alive for the rest of the world.

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.

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.
