Why It Is Okay To Celebrate Christmas Early

With November now in full swing, I’ve seen a lot of hate on the internet criticizing those of us that enjoy celebrating Christmas early now that Halloween is over. I understand where these people are coming from. Yes, Thanksgiving has still yet to happen. Yes, Christmas is not for another month and a half. However, spreading Christmas cheer is not a crime and I think that us Christmas lovers should be free to celebrate early if we want.

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. There is literal musical evidence of this in Christmas carols so I know I am not the only person who stands by this belief. Why would you not want to drag out the greatest holiday season as much as you can? It’s all about spreading happiness and cheer. During Christmas time, the music is happier, people are kinder and the decorations fill people with cheer. If I could make every day of the year during Christmas time, I would. Starting the celebrations a little early just makes it that much better.

I’m not dissing Thanksgiving, but I feel like it’s not that big of a holiday to hinder us from celebrating Christmas sooner. Thanksgiving is great because you are surrounded by your loved ones and get to eat food, but it is a holiday that really only covers one day. Halloween, Christmas, and Easter each come with their own season. There is no Thanksgiving season. You don’t see people making a big deal about Thanksgiving until the day actually comes. Therefore, it really isn’t a big deal to start the Christmas season before Thanksgiving rolls around. It’s not sweeping this beloved holiday under the rug.

If we don’t begin celebrating Christmas until after Thanksgiving, the Christmas season is way too short. One month is not enough time to spread Christmas cheer. There’s no harm in blasting Christmas music and setting up the tree now so you can enjoy it for more time.

In conclusion, everyone should start celebrating Christmas early. It causes no harm and only makes these last few weeks of the semester a little more fun for everyone. If you disagree, stop being a Scrooge.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
