Happy Holidays!! Can you hear the sleigh bells jingling and ringing? Honestly, it’s never too early to be excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas. But, the first week of November is the perfect (and less judgmental) time to start getting into the holiday spirit. November and December are arguably the happiest times of the year: mountains of food, twinkling lights and loved ones. 

Here are 15 signs that you’re well on your way to spreading some holiday cheer!

1. You plan on drinking nothing but Starbucks’ Caramel Apple Spice for the next two months.

Let’s be real, the Pumpkin Spice Latte does not even compare. 

2. You have sent your grandmother your desired menu for Thanksgiving.

Endless supplies of stuffing and smoked turkey, please.

3. You have the perfect pair of sweats to wear for when you stuff your face during the Thanksgiving meal.

This is essentially why sweatpants were created.

4. You have made a list of all the different types of pies you will devour this holiday season.

Sweet potato, pumpkin, apple…basically one of everything.

5. You are genuinely excited to break out your ugly Christmas sweaters.

I suggest you quickly buy Forever 21’s new line of ugly Christmas sweaters before they sell out.

6. You have already planned when you are going to pick out your Christmas tree.

 

The bigger, the better.

7. You have been practicing your Mariah Carey “All I Want For Christmas Is You” high notes.

The best Christmas song ever penned, honestly.

8. You want to decorate the outside and inside of your house with Christmas decorations right now, and you don’t care what your neighbors think.

The giant inflatable santas are the best. 

9. You are over this heat wave and ready to make some snow angels.

When will it start snowing?

10. You can’t wait to go Christmas shopping on Black Friday.

You will put up a fight for those Steve Madden heels.

11. You think Christmas cookies are the best dessert ever created.

Pillsbury’s Christmas tree sugar cookies are too good.

12. You need to go ice-skating at least 10 times from now until December.

You are the Ice Queen!

13. You listed all the Christmas movies you need to watch and “Elf” is number one unless you are a cotton headed ninny muggins.

Do people who don’t like this movie exist?

14. You have been improving your gift-wrapping capabilities so they are better than last year.

It is a lot harder than it looks.

15. You never want this time to end!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!
