Why It's Okay To Be Obsessed With Christmas

https://az616578.vo.msecnd.net/files/2017/10/27/636447245272501421-1710301301_hith-father-christmas-lights-iStock_000029514386Large.jpg

You can hear the bells, children laughing, the bustle of shoppers and smell snow and sugar in the air. If you're anything like me, you listen to Christmas music in July and begin making your Christmas lists in August and shopping in October. Why would anyone be this obsessed with Christmas? I may annoy others with my obsession of all things Christmas, but those things bring joy to my heart and hopefully to others when the season rolls around.

Christmas is about giving and showing your love to others. Being obsessed with Christmas doesn't mean that you are insane, but it simply means that you have a kind and caring heart that can't wait to give to others. There's a special joy about Christmas that is unique to any time of year that makes people want to give more than usual. People are more generous during Christmas time and often devote their time to improving the lives of others by volunteering at soup kitchens and donating money towards the less unfortunate.

Also, people who are obsessed with Christmas are smarter because they plan ahead for their future plans of gifting and activities. That way, there is no stress during the holiday season to get everything in order.

Listening Christmas music is good to do as well because it can make one excited for the Christmas season and make others happy (Use with caution...). At this moment, I am listening to Happy Christmas by John Lennon.

You can be sure that I'll be checking my list twice and listening to Christmas music for all to hear! If you feel the same way about Christmas, don't feel strange! Share the joy!

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

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.
