If you know anything about me, you know I am obsessed with Christmas and the holiday season. Being done with the fall semester of school, spending time with family, and not to mention all of the great food to eat, who wouldn't love this time of year? If you love Christmas as much as me, here are some things you'll totally understand.
1. It's never too early for Christmas music.
Trust me. I started listening to Christmas music in October this year. Sure, people gave me weird and judgy looks. But did I care? Nope, because I was just a lot more jolly than them! You're not a true "Christmas lover" until you program the Christmas-music station into your car for the season.
2. Christmas shopping requires a spreadsheet and major planning.
You have to get the perfect gift for everyone on your list. This requires major planning in advance and getting the best deals before they're all gone. Sometimes, all of your Christmas shopping is even done before Black Friday.
3. Baking. Always baking.
I am not sure what it is about this time of year, but baked goods just always sound good. Christmas cookies are always the way to go. And you typically go all out when making them.
4. Each night is a different Christmas movie.
25 days of Christmas? Yeah, you'll watch them all. Each night you can watch a different Christmas movie and guess what? You totally will.
5. Your house looks like a winter wonderland.
Okay, so your house kind of looks like Santa threw up in it, but you're not ashamed. Your roommates ask to help you decorate but you offer to do it alone because you just find it that fun.
6. You always leave the store with a new Christmas decoration.
Going to Target during this season is always dangerous. You'll always end up leaving with a new Christmas pillow, ornament or winter-scented candle. There goes all of your money for buying Christmas presents! But seriously, did you need another Santa figurine?
7. That perfect Christmas outfit.
You definitely have to wow your family on Christmas day with that perfect Christmas outfit. Maybe you want to dress like Santa this year, or perhaps an elf?
8. You have to do all of the activities.
Ice skating, seeing the lights display, visiting Santa - you have to do it all. Most of the time, the Christmas activities are geared towards younger kids, but you won't let that stop you from telling Santa what you want for Christmas.
9. Opening Christmas presents is the best.
Okay, no one likes to admit that they actually love receiving presents, but c'mon. Who doesn't love getting Christmas presents? Spending time with family giving and receiving presents on Christmas morning has got to be the best.
There is no shame in admitting you're a geek for Christmas. It only comes around once a year, and it's so much better looking forward to Christmas than being a grumpy ol' Scrooge. Happy holidays!
