So another Christmas season has come and gone in the blink of an eye, and if you go hard in the paint when it comes to holiday festivites like I do, there are so many things to miss about Christmas that you might be at risk of being sent into a mini depression session when it's over.

Here's just a few of the things we'll all miss. There are simply too many to gather into one post.... #RIP

All the holiday baking (!!!)

Ever since I could help in the kitchen without being more of a hassle than I was worth, I've helped my mom with all of the Christmas baking. And as soon as I hit 13, all of the baking responsibilities passed on to be so mom could do other things. Whether you're the one doing all the baking or eating everything that someone else has baked, you're gonna miss it. (But your skinny jeans won't!)

The Christmas Blend from Starbucks

THIS STUFF IS THE BOMB. Yes, I wrote a certain hate post about a certain Starbucks drink a couple of months ago, but consider this the absolute opposite of a hate post. If you haven't tried this blend, too late, gotta wait till next year because it's officially out of stock at all Starbucks locations come December 26th :///

Christmas music

I may be one of those people that listens to Christmas music way too early, but I draw the line at Post-Christmas-Listening. How sad. How desperate.

The fact that literally EVERYONE is happy ALL OF THE TIME

There's nothing like it. Why is (almost) every person in the world more pleasant when it comes to the holidays? I don't understand it, but it's so nice that I won't question it.

The Decorations

Well, maybe your decorations take a while to come down. But when it's time to pack them all up I feel like I'm wrapping up a little piece of my soul and throwing it into the back of my attic. Anyone else? No? Okay.

Reliving the magic of childhood...

After 18 long years of deliberation, I've decided that people love the Christmas season so much because they can reminisce (no, not in the sad "I'm forty yeras old and still haven't moved on from my high school glory days" kind of way!) on being a kid and experiencing the most magical thing ever. Besides Disney World, obviously.

Yes, I am aware that I'm being a little dramatic. Frankly, I can't remember the last time I wasn't overly dramatic. But the passing of the most wonderful time of the year calls for a little drama!

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.
