To The Killers Of Early Christmas Joy

Tis the season, fight me about it.

THERE IS A WAR WAGING.

A NOVEMBER WAR. A NOVEMBWAR.

BETWEEN THE EARLY CHRISTMASSERS AND THOSE WHO ONLY WISH TO KILL THEIR SPIRIT.

THAT’S RIGHT.

I’M TALKING TO YOU, KILLERS OF EARLY CHRISTMAS JOY.

THE PEOPLE WHO SAY, “IT’S TOO EARLY!” WHEN THEY SEE A CHRISTMAS COMMERCIAL OR HEAR A CHRISTMAS CAROL IN NOVEMBER.

OR COMPLAIN WHEN THEY SEE THAT ALL OF THE HALLMARK MOVIES ON TV ARE NOW HOLIDAY THEMED.

GET. OVER. IT.

WHY MUST YOU SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF THOSE WHO ARE EXCITED FOR THE SEASON, AND SIMPLY WISH TO ENJOY IT TO THE FULLEST?

WHY DO YOU CARE IF SOME OF US ARE EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS BEFORE THANKSGIVING. LET US BE EXCITED. WE AREN’T HURTING YOU.

YOU’RE BEING A SCROOGE. QUIT BEING A SCROOGE.

AND, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, TIS. THE. SEASON. FIGHT ME ABOUT IT.

JUST BECAUSE I GET EXCITED FOR CHRISTMAS DOES NOT MEAN THAT I AM NOT GONNA GET DOWN AND THANKFUL ON TURKEY DAY. I WILL BE STUFFING MY FACE WITH MASHED POTATOES AND SCREAMING AT THE FOOTBALL GAMES ON MY PLASMA SCREEN WITH THE BEST OF THEM.

BUT WILL YOU HEAR ME SINGING THANKSGIVING SONGS OR SEE ME EATING THANKSGIVING-THEMED CANDY BEFORE THE BIG DAY?

NO. BECAUSE THAT STUFF DOESN’T EXIST.

KNOW WHAT DOES EXIST? CANDY CANES. AND SUGAR PLUMS. AND ARIANA GRANDE’S CHRISTMAS AND CHILL.

SO, JUST TO RECAP:

REINDEER ARE WAY CUTER THAN TURKEYS.

CANDY CANES >>>>> STUFFING.

AND QUIT TRYING TO STEAL MY EARLY CHRISTMAS CHEER. OR I’LL PUT IN A WORD WITH THE BIG MAN, AND HE’LL PUT SO MUCH COAL IN YOUR STOCKING THAT IT NEARLY EQUATES WITH THE AMOUNT OF BLACK STUFF THAT COMPOSES YOUR SOUL.

JOY TO THE WORLD, FAM.

FIGHT ON, MY EARLY CHRISTMASSERS. KEEP CELEBRATING. YOUR DAY IS COMING.

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.
