All the holiday baking (!!!)

Ever since I could help in the kitchen without being more of a hassle than I was worth, I've helped my mom with all of the Christmas baking. And as soon as I hit 13, all of the baking responsibilities passed on to be so mom could do other things. Whether you're the one doing all the baking or eating everything that someone else has baked, you're gonna miss it. (But your skinny jeans won't!)

The Christmas Blend from Starbucks

THIS STUFF IS THE BOMB. Yes, I wrote a certain hate post about a certain Starbucks drink a couple of months ago, but consider this the absolute opposite of a hate post. If you haven't tried this blend, too late, gotta wait till next year because it's officially out of stock at all Starbucks locations come December 26th :///

Christmas music

I may be one of those people that listens to Christmas music way too early, but I draw the line at Post-Christmas-Listening. How sad. How desperate.

The fact that literally EVERYONE is happy ALL OF THE TIME

There's nothing like it. Why is (almost) every person in the world more pleasant when it comes to the holidays? I don't understand it, but it's so nice that I won't question it.

The Decorations

Well, maybe your decorations take a while to come down. But when it's time to pack them all up I feel like I'm wrapping up a little piece of my soul and throwing it into the back of my attic. Anyone else? No? Okay.

Reliving the magic of childhood...

After 18 long years of deliberation, I've decided that people love the Christmas season so much because they can reminisce (no, not in the sad "I'm forty yeras old and still haven't moved on from my high school glory days" kind of way!) on being a kid and experiencing the most magical thing ever. Besides Disney World, obviously.
