To those who celebrate, you just spent an entire day cooking an elaborate meal with all of your favorite foods. You probably ate your body weight in pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes. What happens now? Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance. So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

1. You whip out ALL of the Christmas decorations.

2. You can’t hear anyone’s complaints over the Christmas music you’re blasting throughout the house.

3. Christmas shopping becomes a sport, AKA black Friday.

4. You have a hard time picking out a pair of Christmas socks to wear because you have TOO MANY.

5. Your family is probably worried that you’ll burn the house down with all of the holiday-scented candles you’re burning.

6. Egg-nog, peppermint, gingerbread, or an overly sugared something, becomes a staple part of your diet for the next month.

7. You cancel all of your plans because you will be too busy watching ABC family’s 25 Days of Christmas.

8. You smell like a bakery because you’ve been making cookies nonstop.

9. You probably look like jolly old saint Nicholas yourself because you are smiling from ear to ear.

10. You don’t have time for negativity because you are too busy spreading the holiday cheer.
