IT IS FINALLY THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!

YEP, YOU GUESSED IT, IT IS CHRISTMAS TIME!!!

If you know me, you know how much I love Christmas. I love Christmas so much because it is a time of love, joy and laughter. It is a time of ugly Christmas sweaters and peppermint mocha lattes. It is a time to be grateful for all the things you have. It is a time of giving gifts. It is simply the best time of the year.

I have never had a bad Christmas in my entire life. I think that is why I love Christmas so much. Everyone is just in the Christmas spirit and it seems like everything is just going perfectly.

Something that makes me more enraged than anything though is when someone tells me in their little snooty voice, "It is too early for Christmas." Who are they to tell me when I can and can not celebrate my favorite holiday? And when is the right time to celebrate Christmas? Christmas day? I have already seen Christmas commercials and the Starbucks Christmas drinks are out and it is only November 3rd.

The way I see it is I am not celebrating the holiday every single day of my life. I am simply getting into the Christmas state of mind. Listening to Christmas music, drinking hot cocoa out of my collection of over 20 Christmas mugs, decorating my room with garland, my Christmas tree, lights, ornaments and snowflake are a few Christmas activities that get me in the mood. These activities get me in the mood, but do not by any means mean that I am actually celebrating the holiday in itself. Some people may think that these activities are a part of the holiday, but I am simply prepping myself for the holiday. It makes no sense for a person to tell me that I am not allowed to get ready for Christmas.

So next time you try to tell someone that it is too early for Christmas re-think your statement as they are simply getting ready for the most wonderful time of the year.
