9 Ways To Spread Christmas Cheer To Your Anti-Early-Christmas Friends

I WILL STILL EAT TURKEY AND THANK A PILGRIM SO STOP YOUR HATING!

There are two types of people in November....

I just so happen to be Buddy the Elf. I have no shame in admitting my Christmas tree has been lighting up my teeny dorm room since October 30th....

Yes, I do know "it's not even Thanksgiving yet."

I'm not skipping a holiday, people!

I love Thanksgiving just as much as the Pilgrims did way back when. I will celebrate it by stuffing my face with all the yummy things and giving thanks for the many blessings in my life. One of those blessings being that I have the freedom to begin celebrating the most wonderful time of the year *gasp* EARLY!

I just simply cannot take the negativity any longer. And as a Psychology major, I understand there is only one way to put an end to it...

REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY *Insert evil laugh here*

1. DECORATE ALL THE THINGS

Put up the trees. Hang the stockings. Light up your house so it's visible from Pluto. And definitely, put up the huge inflatable Santa.

2. And show them all said decorations

Post them on the 'gram, tweet them, throw them on Pinterest because you know they're worthy, and my gosh even put them on Facebook.

3. Cue the music

Blare Christmas tunes 24/7. I'm talking all the time. In the shower. In the car. At the gym. During meals. Morning. Night. And Noon. Let the jams be heard.

4. Greet them with a very jolly, "Merry Christmas."

November 15th? MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

5. Buy them ugly Christmas sweater.

Or two... Or three...

6. Invite them for movie night to watch ELF

And do what he says.. Especially eat cookie dough. Yeah, eat all the cookie dough.

7. Bake them Christmas cookies

You're not you when you're hungry... Maybe a good cookie will bring them to their Christmas senses

8. Bring them a Christmasy drink

No one, I mean no one can resist hot cocoa with lots of marshmallows, seasonal Starbucks drinks or EGGNOG

9. Love their Grinchy self-hard

Even if they're still devoted to waiting until after Thanksgiving...

Whether you decide to begin celebrating Christmas early or not, I hope that whenever you do, you do it in a way that brings joy to you and everyone around you. It's truly the most wonderful time of the year!

And for real, I promise I'm not skipping Thanksgiving. I just really want to eat my turkey while I look at my beloved Christmas tree.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
