Time For Christmas Carols And Turkey Together

Listening to Christmas music doesn't mean skipping Thanksgiving

The endless fall feud between Thanksgiving and Christmas rages on each year, almost instantly after Halloween. Both holidays are meant to be celebrated in big ways. However, I believe it's never too early to start listening to Christmas music. This doesn't mean I'm completely skipping over Thanksgiving either. But come on, have you ever actually made an entire playlist of Thanksgiving music?

Christmas music is meant to make you sing along as loud as you can, and force you to smile the entire time while doing it. In my opinion, as long as it makes you happy, I think you should sing Christmas music in April. After all, if it makes you happy, why not sing it for as long as you can?

Some of my favorites from recent years include Justin Bieber, Michael Buble and Pentatonix. Although you can never forget about Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby," Wham's "Last Christmas," or Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas."

Why not get ready for Christmas early? Getting into the Christmas spirit makes everyone happy and gives you the perfect reason to decorate your house as much as you possibly can. How could you not be happy singing along to your favorite Christmas songs while looking at hundreds of lights?

Skipping over Thanksgiving is still out of the question. Shoving as much food into your face as possible then pretty much staying up all night to shop for Black Friday should never be something to skip over!

Overall, celebrating both holidays for the next two months sounds pretty good to me. Both holidays give you time to spend with your family and bring endless joy to everyone in many ways. So go ahead, eat your turkey and sing Jingle Bells as loud as you can. Spread the Christmas spirit and make everyone around you just as happy as you are!

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again.

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
