It is finally November, and the only thing I can think about is the one and the only holiday, Christmas. I know I am not the only person out there that thinks about Christmas all year long. Seriously though, on December 26th, I already have the "Christmas Blues." Better yet, I have them the late evening of Christmas Day, and from that day on, I anxiously count down until this wonderful time of year. Here are 12 signs that, like me, you are an absolute Christmas fanatic:
1. You put up your tree the day after Halloween.
Or before Halloween even happens. It's okay. Really. It is.
2. When the 25 Days of Christmas schedule is released, you get abnormally excited.
Even though we could easily watch these movies on our own time, anytime, we still need to watch them on the fixed schedule that Freeform (previously ABC Family) provides for us because that is what we call tradition.
3. Nothing gives you more enjoyment than drinking one of Starbucks' holiday beverages in their holiday themed cup.
On November 10th, you will be able to drink a Chestnut Praline, Caramel Brulée, or a Peppermint Mocha in a RED cup. If you're a true Christmas fanatic, you will completely understand that the cup truly makes a difference, and why this is so very important.
4. You have a designated holiday playlist with the best Christmas songs of all time.
5. You take your decorating very seriously.
From the candles to the tree to the lights, everything has to be perfection.
6. Every day, you plan to do at least one Christmas-related activity.
Major emphasis on the "at least" part...
7. You watch "Elf" repeatedly.
It is one of the best Christmas movies of all time. It never gets old. We don't know why, but it simply doesn't.
8. When it snows for the first time, you cannot contain yourself.
You even cry a little.
9. On certain days, your excitement levels are over the top.
We can't predict when it will happen, but when it does, we embrace it.
10. You suddenly don't care about your dieting. You just eat as you please.
11. On the day that Santa comes to your neighborhood on the fire truck, you still run outside.
People may look at us weirdly, but we do not care.
12. And when Christmas is over, you officially become depressed
Don't go, Christmas. Please.
