Now that Halloween - well, Halloweekend - is over, it's time to get in the Christmas spirit. (Yeah, I'm that person. Sorry.)

If you don't love the wintertime and all of its connotations, this article probably isn't for you. But if you look forward to this season each year like I do, then check out the best ways to get yourself hype for the most wonderful time of year.

1. Build the ultimate Spotify playlist

Essential songs include "All I Want for Christmas is You" and the entirety of Michael Bublé's Christmas album. You have to put this playlist on loop whenever you're hanging around your room. This way, the Christmas spirit becomes a part of your being.

2. Bake some Pillsbury Christmas cookies

You know, the ones with decorated trees on them. Those are the best.

3. Go see some sort of lights show

Nothing says "holiday spirit" like lights blinking to some bumping tunes.

4. Get yourself some cozy socks

Mine have red and white stripes, so I'm basically wearing candy canes 24/7. You probably have a nice pair of cozy socks, too. Be sure to keep them on at all times.

5. Cut out paper snowflakes and hang them around your room

Boom. Perpetual snowstorm. Just the way I like it.

6. Watch The Polar Express as often as humanly possible

This might just be me. Maybe you like Elf better. Watch Elf.

7. Candles

Yeah. (If your dorm doesn't allow candles, get tea lights.)

8. And start counting down the days until winter break

So, maybe it's a little early to be doing this. Oh well. I don't care. I'm ready for Christmas.

Let's get in the spirit! I hope y'all love this time of year as much as I do. After all, snowstorms make everything magical.
