18 Symptoms Of Early Onset Christmas Disorder

Now that Halloween is over, our brains are scientifically proven to fast forward all the way to Christmas. For some, this becomes a serious problem. Here are the symptoms that you are falling ill to the most costly of seasonal diseases: Early Onset Christmas Disorder.

1. You start hearing Christmas music everywhere you go. Are they really playing "All I Want For Christmas Is You" in this Kroger right now? Time to sing along.

2. Christmas decor sneaks its way into your shopping cart while you're meandering around Target.

3. You start watching Christmas movies the first day of November.

4. You begin to have unseasonal cravings.

You long for Peppermint Mocha season when it's still Pumpkin Spice season. You have your heart set on gingerbread and candy canes, but it's not yet the time for such delicacies.

5. You make Christmas cookies and it's a week after Halloween. It was a moment of weakness.

6. You completely forget that there is in fact a holiday between Halloween and Christmas.

7. You long for those Christmas vacation lazy days with TV, naps, and hot chocolate.

8. You daydream too often about Christmas morning and can almost see the lights, presents, and tree right in front of you.

9. You develop a fever. A Holiday Fever.

10. The fact that you can't put your Christmas tree up because it's "too early" makes you irrationally annoyed.

11. You become dissatisfied with all of the "non-Christmas" clothing in your wardrobe.


It's just not doing it for you anymore. Your Christmas sweaters and ornament ball earrings are calling out to you.

12. Your Pinterest board overflows with all things Christmas.

13. You begin to show hoarding tendencies.

The hidden stockpile in your closet is growing with all your newly purchased Christmas candles, decorations, CDs, and more.

14. You experience a drastic increase in your online shopping addiction. Everything. Is. On. Sale.


15. You lash out irrationally at those who are not in the Christmas spirit by calling them a "Grinch."


16. Every time it rains you have the illogical hope that it will snow. Even when it's 60 degrees outside.


17. You don't dare step foot into a Hobby Lobby. You know your triggers.


18. You write an entire article about Christmas the day after Halloween.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
