Why do you need to play Christmas music in November?

There are just some things about the Christmas season that start way too early. I like to think of it as two different people. There's one that's ready for Christmas when November 1st starts and the other type (like me) that waits until December 1st for everything Christmas.

1. Christmas Music

93.3 The Drive

So many people start listening to Christmas music the first day in November. Really? It's still Turkey season… chill. (Pun intended.) I want to hear Mariah Carey's "All I want for Christmas" as few times as possible.

2. Getting a Christmas Tree

The Independent

I don't know what it is with people getting Christmas trees earlier and earlier but I think waiting the day after Thanksgiving is still really early. Maybe the first week in December but there's actually people out there who finish their turkey and go and get a tree.

3. Decorating For Christmas

Now I understand this one a little more for doing it in November because no one wants to be putting up lights outside when it's freezing out. I mean yeah put up the lights outside but the people that actually light up their lights before Thanksgiving are a totally different breed.

4. Christmas Movies That Are Released

Netflix has so many new Christmas movies that come out in the middle to end of November before Thanksgiving, and not to mention the movies that come out in theaters. The movie theaters usually wait until December but the new Grinch movie came out on November 9th of this year.

5. Posting Of Pictures Of New York City

I've already seen on my Facebook timeline a few people posting about how they want to go to New York City during Christmas at Least once in their life. I mean who doesn't?

I actually really like the Christmas season and looking at the Christmas lights around the city and don't get me wrong I love all the Christmas cookies and all the decorations and what not but the Christmas music and the early decorating just get me every time.

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.
