If you're a Christmas addict, lucky for you, you're not alone.The first step is admitting. We've all been there. Countless times our partners have rolled their eyes when we come home with more Christmas items they label as "junk". More than once have they taken our credit cards and said it's time for an intervention. Don't blame yourself, they just don't understand. I mean, it is the most wonderful time of the year.

1. You started shopping for Christmas presents...in October.

You feel proud of yourself for being ahead of the game, but as the gifts start to pile up in the closet you realize you more than likely went overboard.

2. When someone mentions "fake tree" you feel the need to bless them with holy water because they are sinning.

Sure, not sweeping up pine needles every five seconds is nice. But what is Christmas without the smell of the tree? Or the sap that sticks to your fingers and causes you to ruin half of your furniture? How boring.

3. Your poor friends have suffered through at least a month of Christmas music prior to December.

Okay, but honestly there's not a single bad Christmas song and they're easy to sing. Plus they make people happy so what's the problem?

4. You eat, breathe, and live peppermint.

Thankfully peppermint is the flavor of EVERYTHING during December.

5. Making a gingerbread house is an art and you suddenly become an employee for a cake decorating company.

You don't throw some icing on and call it "cute" and you definitely don't let you kids touch it. You spend two hours replicating the picture on the box exactly.

6. When someone says "But it's not even Thanksgiving yet" and you realize you have to remove them from you life.

Sorry mom and dad, that just wasn't the right move.

7. You are depressed the entire month of January.

There is nothing worse than packing up decorations and saying goodbye for another eleven months. It's probably the saddest thing since "Grey's Anatomy."
