7 Signs You Are Already In The Holiday Spirit

Now that the excitement of Halloween is over, we all know what that means: Christmas is here! Well, not exactly. It is almost a month and a half away. We also can’t forget about Thanksgiving, right? A holiday where all we do is eat food, watch football and prepare for "Hunger Games"-style shopping the next day is something that should be appreciated. Anyways, if you are anything like me and probably every store and media outlet in the United States, the moment the Jack-o’-lanterns go down, the Christmas tree goes up. Here are some signs that show that you are already in the holiday spirit.

1. You have already started listening to Christmas music.

There is nothing as festive and happy as Christmas music so as soon as it hit November 1, you began to belt out all of your favorite Christmas songs. Whether it’s singing your heart out to "All I Want For Christmas" or dancing around your room to "Jingle Bell Rock," you are definitely in the holiday spirit.

2. You got excited when you saw Santa at the mall.

You couldn’t help but smile and embrace the Christmas spirit when you saw the tree and Santa picture station being set up at the mall. You may be a little to old to take a picture with Santa now, but it definitely is a sign the holidays are upon us.

3. Christmas cookies.

You spotted these cookies at the supermarket and you had to have them. No one can resist a sugar cookie with a snowman on it!

4. You already know the perfect gifts to get your friends.

You finally get to give your friends the perfect gifts. Whether you are already scoping out Black Friday deals to get presents or you have the funniest DIY present ever planned out for your best friend, nothing beats the excitement of giving.


5. You have already started watching Christmas movies.

"Home Alone," "Elf," "The Polar Express," -- there are just so many amazing Christmas movies to watch. Might as well get a head start and start watching them all now, right?

6. You were excited for the return of red cups at Starbucks.

As soon as Halloween passed, you immediately went to Starbucks to get a drink in their red Christmas cup. Also, you began to add Christmas-flavored creamers to your coffee every day. Let’s be real, if your coffee isn’t peppermint- or gingerbread-flavored, is it even the holidays?

7. You already have a Christmas list.

'Tis the season for giving -- but also for receiving. You already have the perfect gift in mind, whether it is something like that really cute jacket from the Balmain x H&M collection (hint) or cute socks (boot socks are the best), you already know what you want and you aren’t afraid to drop hints about it.

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.
