Welp! Halloween is over, November is officially here, and I can't wait for Christmas. Yes, I am one of "those" people. I feel like there are 3 types of people in this situation.
1 - The Christmas Enthusiast. People like myself. People who listen to Christmas music at the stroke of midnight on Halloween, when it's officially November 1st. People who don't get sick of the endless Christmas music and Christmas movies even after Christmas has past.
2- The People Who are Ok With It. These are the people who tolerate the Christmas Enthusiasts aka me. They roll their eyes but put up with the Christmas music but ask that you (I) put headphones in while you (I) listen to it. But they're generally ok with it.
3 - The Thanksgiving Enthusiast. These are people who demand Thanksgiving be recognized. There is a strict no Christmas music or Christmas anything until after Thanksgiving. They are the Thanksgiving crusaders!
I get all types of these people. My Dad and my husband are very much Thanksgiving Enthusiast types. Which is great!
But, this is about why I'm a Christmas Enthusiast.
Why do I start celebrating Christmas on November 1st? Because I love it. I love Christmas. I love pretty much everything about it. Mostly, I love the holiday season. If there were plenty of Thanksgiving songs, you bet your bottom dollar, I'd be singing them. But, there aren't that many. (The only one I can think of is "Go Tell Aunt Rhody"...and we weren't allowed to sing that in my house. haha. SO! If you find good ones, send them my way.)
But mostly it's about the holiday spirit. The sense of gratitude, service, love, family, and all around joy. The REAL Christmas Spirit. What the Spirit of Christmas should be. We should be able to have that all 365 days of the year, not just for a single month! So I'll start singing early. I'm going to readopt all the feelings of what Christmas is about starting...yesterday.
So Deck the Halls, and get ready for all the holiday cheer.
Because Halloween is over, November is officially here, and I CAN'T WAIT FOR CHRISTMAS!
