How It Feels To Love Christmas With A Halloween Obsessed Best Friend

Dedicated to my ginger, fangirling, halloween loving weirdo.

How It Feels To Love Christmas With A Halloween Obsessed Best Friend
Annika Soderfelt

My best friend is the single greatest person ever, but she definitely has her quirks. They're not bad, but they definitely make her a unique bundle of joy.

She has fiery red hair, and she is a class A fangirl. I call her Merida Ackles, and her ginger headed weirdness is one of the things that makes me happier than anything.

One of the biggest bones of contention between us is the argument of what the best holiday is.

See, it's normal to have a favorite holiday, but we both have unhealthy addictions. She swears by Halloween, and I will forever fight for Christmas. She starts pulling out pumpkin emojis and scary movies the moment September hits.

I listen to year-round Christmas carols, and I have everyone's presents by Halloween.

I face the struggles of her obsessive texts....


The constant snaps...


And, of course, the Twitter spam.



I'm not completely innocent of this level of addiction, of course. I have videos of me singing Christmas carols in July, I already have all my friends' presents for the year, and there are already decorations up in my dorm. I have a problem.

I know this. But I think that my problem is slightly less concerning because, let's be real, it's Christmas. Let me know what you think. This is a serious matter for serious people.

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.
