We all know that one person who sees the holiday season in two parts. Everything that fall before October 31st and then the second the clock strikes midnight on November 1st, it is considered CHRISTMAS SEASON! I, for one, can admit that I am guilty of watching the Grinch on November 1st and continue to watch Christmas movies well past New Years. I love putting up the tree, decorating the house, shopping for presents, and seeing the smiles on all my friends and families faces during the holidays. Christmas is by far my favorite time of year.

If you are confused by this or not sure you have this jolly fever here are 8 symptoms to let you know.

1. You are heard all across your apartment singing the wonderful songs of the Christmas season, whether it be the classics, some J-Biebs or Mariah covers, or anything in between.

2. Every time you see Christmas displays in store windows you feel a little warmth and excitement that only the holiday spirit can give you.

3. If you flip through the channels and see a Christmas movie on it will stay there until it's over.

4. Thanksgiving is the last hurdle until it is socially acceptable to practice your holiday cheer in public.

5. You see Christmas trees everywhere you look.

6. When you go into a store, you instinctively think of what you're relatives might want from you for Christmas.

7. You get happy just thinking about Christmas morning.

8. Going into New York City to see the tree in Rockefeller Center is always the highlight of the your break. And you know that you'll probably visit it at least three times while its up.

If you or anyone else are experiencing these symptoms please bring them to the nearest public place so they can continue to spread their holiday cheer with everyone that is near. Well I am now speaking in rimes so to stop myself from sounding like Dr. Seuss, just remember to not be a scrooge this year and embrace the most wonderful time of the year.
