Why I Won't Start Spreading Christmas Cheer Until December

Why I Won't Start Spreading Christmas Cheer Until December

Remember how I let you know how I hated pumpkin? Well, I'm back again to rant about Christmas. You can call me Scrooge or a Grinch if you want, but I think we should all be reasonable people and not start celebrating Christmas until at least December. Crazy right?

You see, October was just a few days ago. I went to Walmart three days, THREE DAYS, into November and lo and behold, all the Christmas decorations and Christmas candy are already out. Walmart employees were wearing ELF HATS. I know some people want to start spreading the holiday cheer early, but we haven't even hit Thanksgiving, people. Why aren't you more excited about Thanksgiving? It's basically an excuse to stuff your face without judgment.

Which brings up my second point. Appreciate Thanksgiving. You get delicious food, you get to see your family, and you don't have to buy anyone any gifts. Thanksgiving is wonderful. Stop skipping over it like it doesn't matter. #ThanksgivingLivesMatter

Some people think I'm a little too stuffy about Christmas. I'm the type of person who doesn't think Christmas music is acceptable until two weeks before Christmas. I'm also not going Black Friday shopping or putting up any decorations while it's November. But we have a whole other holiday to celebrate before we even get to December. So tone down your holiday cheer for the rest of us, please and remember we have another month AND another holiday before those sleigh bells start jingling.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
