11 Signs You Surely Love Christmas Just As Much As Santa Clause
Cassidy Burger

If you are anything like me as soon as the clock strikes midnight on November 1, you instantly grow reindeer ears and throw up candy canes. Don't get me wrong, I love Halloween. Getting my spook on is one of my favorite things in the world. But the moment Halloween is over I go into Christmas mode. There's no doubt in my mind the reason I love Christmas so much is that my mom is pretty much Mrs. Clause herself. In our household my mom starts playing Christmas music on November 1, we have three Christmas trees that are put up before Thanksgiving and don't take them down until mid-January. So clearly, Christmas is a pretty big deal at my house.

I just love the feeling of Christmas and how it seems to transform people. I love that people tend to be more generous and caring during the weeks leading up to Christmas. I think Christmas time just makes people well, better people. I guess that is why I try to make the Christmas season go on for as long as I possibly can.

If you also have a love for Christmas that is stronger than your love for most things then you might just be a crazy Christmas addict, and that is the best kind of addict in the entire world.

Here are 11 signs that you are Christmas's biggest fan.

1. November 1st = December 1st

As soon as the clock strikes midnight on November 1st all signs of being spooky are put away. Everything is Christmas. Christmas time is the only time that matters.

2. As soon as November hits you change the lock screen on your phone to something Christmasy

I seriously have a Pinterest board dedicated to Holiday-themed lock screens and I honestly have a hard time choosing which one to use. So, I usually end up changing my lockscreen about four or five times during the holiday season.

3. You bring out the ugly Christmas sweaters as early as possible

I enter Goodwill during the Christmas season more than I do any other time of the year. I am all about going thrifting and finding the most hideous Christmas sweaters humanly possible. The uglier the sweater the better.

4. You try to convince your friends to take a Christmas card picture

Lucky for me my friends are just as crazy as I am and would probably be so down for this. Of course, we would wear our ugliest of Christmas sweaters and dress up our cats.

5. Your heart starts to flutter when you see that Starbucks has their Christmas cups again

6. Once it's November Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé become your favorite artists

Let's face it, these two just know how to do Christmas right.

7. You get (kind of) excited to see all the Christmas time engagements

It makes you a little sad because it reminds you that you are very alone for the holidays, but you can't help but stare at all the pretty pictures of hands with big rocks holding Christmas Starbucks cups.

8. You have the ultimate Spotify Christmas playlist

I clearly have a thing for Ariana Grande Christmas music and Big Time Rush.

9. You want to do all the stereotypical holiday activities

You want to watch all the Christmas movies with your family, make hot cocoa and snuggle up by the fire, make Christmas cookies that probably won't end up tasting good and taking all the selfies in your Christmas pajamas.

10. You will waste all the gas in the world to go look at Christmas lights

My family has gone around looking at Christmas lights after buying hot chocolate for as long as I can remember. It pretty much is a staple part of it being Christmas and I will "waste" all the gas in the world to drive around because to me looking at some amazing Christmas lights will never be a waste.

11. Freeform (ABC Family) becomes your absolute favorite channel during December

You've seen all of these movies 100 times, but duh you're going to watch them again.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
