So another Christmas season has come and gone in the blink of an eye, and if you go hard in the paint when it comes to holiday festivites like I do, there are so many things to miss about Christmas that you might be at risk of being sent into a mini depression session when it's over.
Here's just a few of the things we'll all miss. There are simply too many to gather into one post.... #RIP
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.
Yes, I am aware that I'm being a little dramatic. Frankly, I can't remember the last time I wasn't overly dramatic. But the passing of the most wonderful time of the year calls for a little drama!
