Christmas is coming. It is near. Very, very near - only twenty or so days until the best day of the year finally arrives. How does this feel for us Christmas fanatics? Let me tell you.
1. When it is the 26th of December so you officially have one year until next Christmas.
This is probably the hardest part of loving Christmas more than the average human because you just experienced your favorite day of the year, and now it is gone.
2. When it is the first day of June.
Halfway there. We are so close I can smell Christmas coming. We have six more months, but it is so much closer than it was, and it truly is so wonderful.
3. Thanksgiving Day.
Tomorrow we get to shop for presents! There will be Christmas music playing in the background, and everyone will be getting the best gift of all time, because I have been thinking about it for a year.
4. Black Friday.
Not only is today the day that you shop for everyone's gifts, but also no one can say, "it's not even Thanksgiving, you shouldn't be listening to Christmas music." Guess what - I can do whatever I want.
5. December 1st.
It is officially Christmas time. You can no longer say anything about my Santa sweater, because it is December and we have 24 days until Christmas. Today is a great day, and I have zero complaints. Also, I will be rolling all of my windows down and jamming to Christmas music, because as Buddy the Elf says, "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear."
6. Christmas Eve.
Tonight is the night. Santa Claus is coming to town and tomorrow is the greatest day of the year!
7. Christmas Day.
It's here, and it's a great day. It is the best day ever, and it really will be the happiest day of my life, because it always is! I do not apologize for my excessive amounts of smiling or my random yelling "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Everyone needs to know that this is the best holiday and today is the best day.
8. And now we are back where we started.
The 26th of December. You are my most dreaded day. I am not trying to say that I hate you, but I am not going to say that I don't. I am sorry, you're just not a good day.
I truly hope everyone has the most amazing Christmas. I know we are all stressed because this season is stressful, but take time and just celebrate and spend time with your family. It is the BEST time of year!
