Why I Don't Like Christmas

Bah Humbug to all and to all a goodnight!

Christmas. It’s the time of the year when people break out the Christmas lights and risk their lives hanging them on the roof. It’s the time when the radio states to play Christmas music right after Thanksgiving. I have a little secret. You should probably sit down because I’m about to tell you something that you’re most likely not going to like, I’m not a big fan of Christmas. I know. WHAT?! It’s insane. It was cool when I was growing up, but now, it’s not fun. It's annoying.

Christmas movies are very similar. (Especially the lovey dovey ones)

Two people meet, the fall in love, DRAMA, man tries to make things right, they get back together, the end. Is anyone else not loving this? Just me? Okay. I will admit, the actors are doing a very good job, but it’s been done.

Christmas music.

Different artists, different tune…same song redone over and over.

Christmas lights.

Have fun trying to get them down without falling.

Shopping.

My bank account isn’t happy with me.

Decorating

Bringing up those boxes, then bringing them back down, only to have them bring them back up in a couple of weeks.

Baking/Cooking

The dishes…all of the dishes.

Socializing

Let me make short and sweet for you. College is great, I love being home, my grades are fine, and no I don’t have a boyfriend.

Snow

Evil...

Stores starting early

What happened to Thanksgiving?

Mall "Santa"

Please tell me what the hell that smell is?

It’s not that I don’t like hanging out with my family or anything like that, but I just fell out of love with Christmas. When I was growing up, it was so fun. Putting up the tree, baking with my family, getting presents (because that’s all that young kids loved), shopping, seeing “Santa” at the mall, going around the neighborhood and seeing the lights, etc. But now, I just don’t love it the way I use to. Now I just find it annoying and tacky. Everything from Christmas music and movies to hanging up decorations, I just find it all tacky. Even having people I don’t like come over and I am forced to socialize. I just don’t understand why people love this holiday.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
