It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, well...kind of.

Halloween is finally over, Starbucks has replaced Pumpkin Spice Lattes for Peppermint Mocha, some radio stations have switched to playing 24/7 Christmas music, and the Hallmark Channel has finally started playing their corny Christmas movies once again. While it may technically be November, this does not stop any Christmas enthusiast.

Instead of trick-or-treating, we throw our pumpkins away, string up some Christmas lights, contemplate putting up the Christmas tree, and usually run around in our Christmas socks belting out Mariah Carey's song, "All I Want For Christmas" at the top of our lungs.

"Why are we like this?" is a question commonly asked and all I can say is there is something truly magical in the way Christmas time makes us all feel.

While life is busy and crazy sometimes, Christmas is the time to reflect and appreciate that another year has ended with so many memories to remember. We aren't crazy people, I believe we just like to welcome Christmas sooner into our hearts because we like the joy and peace this time of year brings. Here are 12 signs you're a Christmas enthusiast.

1. Mariah Carey's "Merry Christmas" album is on repeat starting November 1st.

2. You put up your Christmas Tree before Thanksgiving.

3. Bronner's Christmas Wonderland in Frakenmuth, MI is #christmasdecorationgoals.

4. You buy multiple packs of the Christmas tree and snowman Pillsbury sugar cookie packs.

5. You have strung an ungodly amount of Christmas lights around your room.

6. You buy anything pine scented so your house smells like a Christmas tree.

7. You find yourself wishing for just a tiny amount of snow in the middle of November.

8. You only watch the Thanksgiving Day Parade for the Christmas music and floats.

9. You have already bought everyone's Christmas presents.

10. You have watched "Elf," "The Santa Claus," "It's A Wonderful Life," "Frosty the Snowman," and "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" 30 times and it's not even December.

11. You have a countdown on your phone for how many more days there are until Christmas.

12. You don't like anyone who says it is "too early to start celebrating Christmas".

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
