It's the most wonderful time of the year - except it isn't, not when the time of the year has already been going on since before Thanksgiving. Christmas used to be the most exciting day, maybe even more so than my birthday. The presents, waking up before dawn, watching "A Christmas Story" on the movie channels all day long. So when did that end? When did Christmas stop being something to look forward to, and instead just another day? Maybe when the songs began playing in November, rather than in December where they belonged. (Okay, so the music isn't entirely to blame for my lack of enthusiasm regarding Christmas, but it certainly isn't helping.)

Note: I do not know the original writers of these songs. But I'm sure you can look at the titles, and have some version of them play in your head immediately.

1. Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree

2. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

3. All I Want For Christmas Is You

4. Jingle Bells (One Horse Open Sleigh)

5. Joy To The World

6. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer

7. Last Christmas

(This one in particular never fails to put a frown on my face.)

8. Santa Baby

9. Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

10. Let It Snow

11. Deck The Halls

12. Jingle Bell Rock

You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
