Say It With Me: It’s OK To Start Celebrating Christmas In November!

There are so many people who are very strict on celebrating Christmas after Thanksgiving and not before. But then there are a lot of people that put their tree up on November 1st. And that is completely OK because the holidays are the best time of the year and if people wanna start celebrating early then good for them.

There can't be too much celebration, it such a great holiday.

There are so much fun and happiness that comes along with it. All the different new products that come out get everyone in the mood. I mean so many stores start putting decorations and selling so many holiday goods now that why shouldn't we celebrate it? Its just such a fun time that why not, be festive just puts everyone in a good mood. And decorating the house, putting up the tree is what makes it so much fun. There is no other time in the year that is that much fun and happiness that fills the world. As cheesy as that sounds it's so true.

The family you don't get to see usually comes around to your house and its just like a huge family reunion. There is nothing better than that because family is everything. It's a big party with awesome food and movies. There is nothing like some good family time.

If you are one of those people that starts celebrating Christmas after Thanksgiving then that is totally OK too, to each their own.

But no one should feel bad for celebrating a great holiday season when every they choose. No one is like the other person so everyone has their own way of doing this. And that is so OK.

The holidays are a great time of year, so enjoy it, whenever you want to.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
