So, it's finally Nov. 1. The time for pumpkin spice lattes, haunted houses and apple picking is officially over. It is now the holiday season and, with that, comes all of the fun things that are acceptable during this glorious time.

1. Christmas music.

It is now perfectly acceptable to create a Christmas music playlist, make the Christmas music radio station one of your presets and search for the "Mariah Carey Christmas" Pandora station.

2. Obsessing over winter activities.

You and your BFF/BF/GF/Mom/whoever can now start planning out all of the fun "winter things" you're going to do. (Whether that includes ice skating and sledding or simply twirling around candy canes is up to you.)

3. Dreaming about Thanksgiving food.

You may not be dreaming about having an entire turkey over your head, but it is definitely OK to have dreams about mashed potatoes and stuffing at this time of year.

4. Creating a Black Friday game plan.

Schmidt perfectly describes the Black Friday vibes in one sentence, so once Nov. 1 comes around, it is 100 OK to start planning for the most hectic shopping night of the year.

5. Making countdowns.

Kristen Wiig is an accurate depiction of what we all look like when we realize that it's acceptable to start counting down the number of Mondays until Thanksgiving and Christmas.

6. Looking up the "25 Days of Christmas" movie schedule.

Basically, she said it all. This movie line-up never fails to deliver Christmas cheer and it's finally the time of year to get excited about it.

7. Anything peppermint.

Pumpkin spice is, like, so Oct. 31.

8. Dropping hints of what people can get you for Christmas.

"Wow!!! I really wish I had a ____ like that one we saw at that very specific store in that very specific mall!"

9. Decorating for Christmas.

You can choose your level of involvement in the decorating, but most people choose the "Buddy the Elf jumping on a tree" strategy once Nov. 1 rolls around.

10. Making a list of all the things your parents will buy for you when you come home at the end of the semester, because you ran out of money way too soon.

Shoutout to you mom and dad because, in my eyes, you're "fill the gas tank all the way up rich."

11. And most importantly, Christmas music.

Seriously...Christmas music is important enough to be on here twice. Happy listening!
