Which Comes First: The Turkey Or Santa Claus?
Shelby Alldred

With Halloween just ending and Thanksgiving just around the corner, the issue of premature Christmas decorating is on the rise.

Let's be honest, you probably still have Halloween candy on your fingers and roaming around your house. So tell me, why just hours of Halloween being over do people feel the need to start putting up Christmas decorations like they're going out of style?

Trust me guys, Christmas isn't going anywhere, and decorating a month early won't make it come any faster. Actually, last time I checked, our friend Thanksgiving comes first.

A whole month before Christmas.

Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas movies, lights, and Good Ol Saint Nick as much as the next guy, but we should give the turkey the time to shine.

Skipping over Thanksgiving decorations and going straight to Christmas is like your parents skipping over your birthday and starting to decorate for your sisters birthday that's two months away.

Sounds ridiculous right? That's because it is.

Let the pumpkin spice lattes and the basic fall photo shoots with your friends ease the seasonal transition before you stick Santa Claus in your front yard and running up your PG&E bill by sticking a million lights outside.

Who knows, maybe during the "transition" period you could stick up some turkey decorations.

Make Thanksgiving great again. Stop premature Christmas Decorating.

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
