Top 5 Reasons I'm Obsessed With Christmas

Everyone has something they are obsessed with and for me, that's Christmas! Some people think I'm crazy with how obsessed I am with Christmas, but if you stop and think about it, there are many reasons to absolutely love Christmas. There are so many reasons to love Christmas, and why it's not just all about the getting. Here are my reasons why I believe Christmas is so amazing!

1. The Meaning

In today's world we get so caught up in the commercialization of Christmas. We think it's all about all about the presents, and while the presents are nice there is so much more to the holiday. Christmas is supposed the be about celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. If it wasn't for Him we wouldn't have been saved from ourselves. I'd say that's something to celebrate.

2. The Lights

This time of year one of the most fun things to do is drive around and see all of the lights. People spend so much time on the decorations and light. When you look at all of it there is something magical about it. The lights are so amazing and beautiful.

3. The Smell

People look at me funny all the time when I say this, but Christmas has a specific smell. It's like a combination of gingerbread, pine needles, and cinnamon. When I smell that Christmas smell it makes me all warm, cozy, and happy.

4. Coming together

Christmas is the one time of the year that families try to come together. This is the time of year that family members will see each other, and not have seen each other for a long time. It's nice that everyone comes together to spend time together, and catch up.

5. Giving Back

As I was saying earlier the presents are nice, but one of my favorite parts is the giving back. There is something about the holiday season that just seems to put people in better moods, and they give back more. I love giving back because just seeing the joy and happiness on people's faces warms my heart and gives me joy.

Christmas is the best holiday ever. There are so many reasons that Christmas is so amazing, and these are just a few reasons. But the most important thing to remember about the Christmas season is that it isn't just about the getting. Remember there are more important reasons to love Christmas.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
