I know that for a lot of people that even the idea of seeing a hint of Christmas before December is horrifying to them. They grumble and complain that the stores are starting to sell Christmas decorations and they dread the day the radio station starts playing Christmas carols.

I, however, am the complete opposite. Christmas is my favorite holiday, hands down. The music, the decorations, the food, it's all completely wonderful to me. I have no qualms about the radio playing "Jingle Bells" once November 1st approaches, and I get irrationally excited when I walk into a store and see all the ornaments and wrapping paper everywhere. In my mind, there is no reason why we should have to wait until December to start celebrating.

Here are 15 reasons Christmas should start in November:

1. Halloween starts in September if you think about it. It's only fair.

2. It's literally the most wonderful time of the year – there’s even a song written about it.

3. Speaking of songs, Christmas music makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

4. Decorating is fun, so why not get a head start?

5. There is nothing more exciting than driving down the street and seeing all the houses decked out in festive cheer.

6. It takes me ten years to decorate for Christmas, I want to be able to look at my decorations for as long as possible.

7. For a college student, the earlier we are reminded of something, the more likely we will actually get it done – like buying Christmas presents, for example.

8. The sales before Christmas don’t make my wallet cry, as much.

9. Two months of nostalgia-filled walks down memory lane are better than one.

10. The Hallmark channel is airing corny Christmas movies starting November 1st and I don’t want to miss any of them.

11. Christmas inspired beverages are delicious year-round... I'm looking at you, peppermint mocha.

12. The anticipation of Christmas Day is always more exciting than the actual day. Why would we only want one month of it?

13. Christmas scented candles. Enough said.

14. It takes WAY more than a month to bake everything I have pinned on Pinterest.

15. It's literally a season about love and generosity. It should last longer than 25 days.
