10 Realities For People Who Put Christmas Lights Up On November 1st

In This Article:

Its officially November, which means the holiday season is underway. Yes, I know halloween literally just happened, but when one set of decorations come down the other set go up. Meaning as soon as the pumpkins and spooky stuff is put away, the good ol holly jolly stuff if out to play. I know I know everyone who puts Christmas decorations up before Thanksgiving is insane. That might a little true, but it doesn't mean that I will stop.

The second Halloween is over, it is game time 

Once that last trick or treater comes to the door, it is officially the holiday season

The halloween decorations come down and the lights go up right away 

There is no down time. The lights are already up before most people even realize that you took down the halloween decorations.

People start complaining that every year Christmas lights go up sooner and sooner.....but you know that you've always been this way 

Why are Christmas lights such a bad thing, they make everyone happy. So I say let's bring them in summer, Christmas in July am I right?

People act like you don't know that Thanksgiving comes first 

Obviously you know that Thanksgiving is first, it's a holiday that reveals about food. But you can't decorate for Thanksgiving the same way that you can decorate for Christmas.

Even though you have a ton of decorations, you still buy more and more 

Since the stores are on the same decorating schedule as you, how can you not buy decorations to add when they're there for almost TWO months?

If you have a fake tree then it is already up with all the lights 

The fake trees stay up with the lights for months because well, duh it won't die.

You have to fight the urge to buy a real tree the first week of November. 

You can't buy the live tree until a few weeks before Christmas so your decorations aren't complete.

Even the snacks you buy are holiday themed

I actually bought chocolate Santas today

Yes, it is still 90 degrees outside but that doesn't make it any less of the holiday season 

Yes I am wearing sweaters and yes I know that it is still 90 degrees outside. But I am fully embracing the holiday season.

Its never too early to be Jolly

Christmas lights make everything better, so try it this year. You might feel that holiday joy just a little longer.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
