It is November. You all know what that means. THE HOLIDAYS ARE COMING. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years. This is the best time of the year.

This is the best time of the year because you can eat all the carbs you want and it doesn’t matter. This is because its carb season. That means you can just throw on a huge sweater after eating too many of your Granny’s homemade cinnamon rolls. Noo one will question the covering of your giant carb filled bellies. You can eat all the carbs because everyone else will be eating all the carbs too! Plus, another great thing about carb season is it give you a great New Year’s resolution.

This is the best time of the year because you hardly have to shave. You don’t have to because specifically in the rules of life it is officially NO SHAVE NOVEMBER. Men have the excuse not to shave their beards and women can wear leggings to cover up their Sasquatch legs.

This is the best time of the year because you get to see your family! Not only do you get to see your weird cousins but they willingly give you things! They have no choice but to buy you all your favorite things because they drew your name for the secret Santa! They also give you tons of hugs, this is because if they didn’t it would be socially weird! Also, even if your cousin is still holding a grudge against you because you said something bad about their boyfriend they still have to pass you the sweet potato casserole at dinner. This is the season of giving.

This is the best time of the year because snow. Snow is so terrible during other times during the year. It is not so terrible during the holiday season. Snow during the holiday season is like magic. Snow makes people drive their cars in all kinds of crazy ways. This means no school. This means no school because no one wants there kids on the school bus with crazy people driving around. Snow means sleigh riding. That means broken bones which means no more running on the treadmill. Snow is magic.

This is the best time of the year because it is so romantic. People always fall in love during the holiday season. It is cold during this time of the year. This makes a great excuse to ask that girl you have been wanting to talk to, if she wants to grab a cup of coffee. Because it’s cold she will probably say yes. That does not mean she will like you but at least she said yes? It is also so romantic because mistletoe. This shit is everywhere. You are bound to get stuck under it during some holiday party. This is the season of love.

This is the best time of the year, because all jokes aside… It really is the season of giving and of love. The holiday season means you get to see family you have not be able to see all year. It means that you get to sit and reminisce on all of the things you did this year, ways you have grown, mistakes you have made, and funny stories. It is the best time of the year because you feel something you don’t get to feel all year long. It is a magical feeling a feeling of happiness and a feeling of humbleness. It makes you thankful. It makes you think.

So as the holidays approach remember it is okay to eat the carbs that is what sweaters are for. It is okay to let your beard grow a little longer. But mostly remember to be thankful and humble for all the things you were given this past year. Not just the things, but the opportunities, and the new people you were given the opportunity to meet. Remember this time only comes around once a year! Happy Holidays and happy November!
