Gingers are the spice of our lives, to be honest. If you have red (pun intended) my article "13 Reasons I Appreciate My Girlfriend", then you know she is a genuine ginger. I have heard her explain all the jokes, the conspiracies, and the names.

So, I believe I do have the credibility to chat about the subject. All in all, I just want to say, we all should have that friend in our lives that has freckles raining down on their face, rays of sunshine bouncing off their vibrant hair, and eyebrows that are almost completely invisible. So cheers to all those gingers out there, here is why we love you!

1. They always have sunscreen.

Sunscream for joy!

2. You can count their freckles when you're bored.

Or connect the dots! Or find constellations!

3. They glow in the dark so you can't lose them.

Easier than using a cowbell around the neck.

4. They make you look tan.

Even in the winter too!

5. They DO have souls and most are VERY kind.

Just to clear that up.

6. You can roast marshmallows on them.

Their flame never dies out.

7. They can be the Ron to your Hermione or the Ginny to your Harry.

Or they can be the Jessie to your Buzz, the Ariel to your Eric, the Chucky to your Tommy?

8. Power outage?

No problem. This little ginger of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.

9. If there was a ginger on the Titanic, they would've seen the iceberg.

Gingers save lives. Now go tell your strawberry-shortcake pal that you love them.
