PSA For The Holiday Fruitcakes: It's Too Early For Christmas

All I want for Christmas is to not hear Christmas music before Thanksgiving.

Every year stores start putting up their Holiday decorations earlier and earlier. As soon as Halloween is over the stores have all their Christmas decorations and the ads for Holiday shopping. But here's the thing...

Thanksgiving hasn't even happened yet.

It's way too early for Christmas and it's definitely too early to start listening to Christmas songs (unless it's from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" because technically it's set between the two Holidays). But I personally am sick of listening to "All I Want For Christmas Is You" playing every day from November 1st till December 25th. That is way too long.

If Halloween gets a month of celebration, Christmas should get the same or at least wait until Thanksgiving is over.

Besides, Thanksgiving is the holiday where you just get to eat a lot of food and have a whole weekend to recover. I mean how great is that! And if you go to college, you get a nice relaxing break before your finals start. It's a good holiday in its own right, so don't ignore it just to skip ahead to Christmas.

It's not Christmas time, it's Thanksgiving time.

It's a time to give thanks and spend time with your family. It's time for the Thanksgiving Day Parade and pie. It's time for turkey and cornbread. But really Thanksgiving is probably there to break up Halloween and Christmas so that Christmas time isn't almost two months.

I know I might sound like a Grinch, but please wait until after Thanksgiving before you start blasting your Christmas music and putting up your decorations. There is such a thing as it being too early to listen to Christmas music and before Thanksgiving and especially before Halloween is that 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.
