For those of you who are like me, you're probably already counting down the days until the holiday season and secretly listening to Christmas Music through your headphones. Trust me, I feel you. Honestly, people who hate on you for listening to Christmas music too soon are kind of the worst.
I don't care what they say, I'm still going to listen to "Believe" by Josh Groban at least once a day with no shame and it will never be the wrong time for "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey... No... I do not hate Halloween and I am NOT forgetting about Thanksgiving, I love ghosts and mashed potatoes just as much as the next girl.
I just like getting into the holiday spirit early, and that's okay!!
Thinking about the holiday season evokes happy memories of time spent with family and friends. There's no school!! If you are in college, you practically get a whole month off. Did someone say hot chocolate and movies? I have memories engraved in my mind of decorating my tree, eating too many cookies, and string lights reflecting on the snow.
I know the smells, the sights, and the feelings by heart and let me tell you, they're warm and fuzzy.
No, I'm not oblivious and I know that the holidays aren't equally as awesome for everyone, but there's still no point in being a total Grinch and making someone feel bad for being happy or just a little too enthusiastic about listening to Christmas music or anything else for that matter.
It makes them happy, so just let them be their jolly selves and take your negativity somewhere else because I'm going to be over here counting down the days in peace.
