I know everyone is excited about Christmas coming up. It is the best season after all. With all the decorations, presents, movies, music, lights, etc. how could it not be?

But damn.

Can we appreciate November? I know there is nothing to really celebrate besides Thanksgiving, but that's still considered a holiday.

Most people are still excited to stuff their faces full of food when it comes. Families still get together and laugh and reminisce and everyone goes Black Friday shopping at midnight. Also, most importantly, it's a time when people get time off of school and work. HALLELUJAH!!!

It is still an important day.

Plus, I think that celebrating Christmas so early kind of takes the magic away. The magic that makes Christmas so special and incredible. It's the reason why people wake up extra early on Christmas day with excitement and wonder filling their hearts. Celebrating early just makes the excitement dim the longer you must wait for Christmas to arrive and watching everything around you turn Christmas-like before even Thanksgiving comes, takes away the wonder of it by Christmas day.

You'll probably be tired of hearing/watching Christmas music and movies by then and seeing all the Christmas decorations. It's bad enough stores and the T.V. make us endure it so early.

(I've literally seen Christmas decorations up at stores in July).

But let's wait, people.

Let's enjoy November as the Autumn leaves fall from the trees and our breaths start to frost the air. Let's wear big jackets and make hot chocolate as we imagine the feast that's going to fill our bellies soon. November is all about being grateful and appreciating all that you have.

So, let's appreciate this wonderful glorious month.

Then let's celebrate the next.
