Do you think it is too early to talk about Christmas? Not at all! Christmas is not just Christmas Eve and the following morning with gifts. Christmas is a spirit, it is our waiting for a miracle, and it is a fairy tale around us.

Many people are related the happiest memories of the holidays to their childhood. Sometimes you can hear an old Christmas song or you can see the pictures from your favorite fairy tales, and your imagination takes you into long-forgotten worlds, where you went to sleep in trembling anticipation of a Christmas miracle.

If you want to feel the same warm and miracle atmosphere of this fantastic time of the year you have to surround yourself this taste of Christmas.

Let's start with something sweet and simple as a sock for gifts. You can buy the socks and hung it on the wall or in the fireplace at the beginning of December. If you want your sock created a holy mood make it functional. Surprise your family with small presents every day, and you'll see how you get up in the morning with the expectation of a small miracle, and run to check your sock.

Another source of the jolly mood is the Christmas stories. If you feel that you have outgrown fairy tales it is not true. Tales is a unique literary genre, which is always multilayered.

There are enough hidden meanings in fairy tales for adults and for children, so they are relevant at all times. Make it a rule to read a brief history of the Christmas before going to bed and you'll see what a magic dream will accompany you during this month.

How about a delicious ginger cookies decorated with your hands? It can be not only a great gift for someone, but will also provide you with an unforgettable Sunday evening with your family when you will all be together to create your culinary masterpiece.

Bring into the house the smell of Christmas. Someone needed smell of oranges, someone smell of fir branches, someone will awaken holiday association with cinnamon. Well, that is not even necessary to buy a real spruce or pill tones of oranges, just to buy in the store Christmas flavors and put them somewhere at home. It would be enough.

Do not forget about the family Christmas photo shoot. This is an excellent opportunity to memorializing your family history and just fill the old family album with the new photographs. Even if your family is now only two people, it's a great idea to start a completely new family photo album. And you can start it on this Christmas!

What a pleasure can be obtained by watching the good old Christmas movies. Take your time, make a list of your favorite movies and find the evenings to review them with your family or friends with a cup of hot coca or popcorn.

When you riding a car, turn on the Christmas radio or simply inflate the Christmas music in your phone. Music makes our mood and the Christmas mood is not an exception!

Finally, it is very cool to decorate your home for Christmas with the whole family! Be sure to put the Christmas tree, buy a garland, hang a wreath on the door because while decorating your house, you will create Christmas mood not only for your family, but also donate it for your neighbors, the postman, and even just passers-by.

Christmas is a celebration of warmth and magic, so let's give it to each other all of December, there is no need to wait for Christmas Eve!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
