Thoughts Of A Christmas Fanatic

It’s officially our time of year. The time when our most favorite season is finally here. Thanksgiving and fall- themed events are gone, and Operation-Christmas-Overload has commenced. Your friends and family have already made comments about your “way too early” celebrating of this amazing holiday, but they can now save those comments until next October.

It’s acceptable to decorate, wear, and watch your favorite Christmas-themed things. No longer are the months with weather that’s far too warm or holidays that just don’t measure up to our most prized. Let the Christmas season begin and the decorating invade. Every year, it seems as if the Christmas season becomes shorter and shorter, so enjoy the most glorious month while it lasts! Here are some common thoughts that may run across the mind of a Christmas fanatic like myself.

“I better update my Christmas board on Pinterest.”

“I must craft all the Christmas crafts possible.”

“I need to make all my saved radio stations Christmas.”

“There’s no such thing as too many lights.”

“I may need more than six Christmas sweaters.”

"I wish 25 Days of Christmas was more like 365 Days of Christmas."

“Coordinating wrapping paper for friends, family, and even my pets is essential.”

"I've been planning out all of my friend and family's gifts since July."

"More tinsel."

"Still not enough tinsel."

"I'll watch my weight this holiday season. No overloading."

“One more candy cane.”

“I need hot chocolate in an IV.”

“I must go see this Christmas light display for the tenth time.”

“I don’t even have enough space for all my Christmas mugs.”

“Oh, look how cute this Christmas mug is!”

"When I have my own place, its going to be a Christmas invasion this time of year."

"I wish I still believed in Santa."

"I believe I have snow-smelling powers like Lorelai Gilmore."

"After-Christmas sales are for the weak. We need it now."

"Is it really a candle if it isn't Christmas-scented?"

"Christmas $1-$3 bins at Target are my stress relief on a budget."

"More than one Christmas tree should be the new normal."

"Yes, my dog has his own Christmas sweater."

"I never want December to end."


"Merry Christmas!"

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
