I know what you are thinking. This girl is talking about Christmas and it’s not even a week after Halloween?! Sure, some might call me crazy to be so excited when it’s still practically two months away. I’m sorry to say it, but your ridicule will not stop me! This year, I have come armed with a counterattack against you Grinches.
No one needs to be told how magical Christmas is. The lights that twinkle just right, the steaming cups of peppermint hot cocoa, the merriment that seems almost tangible in the air. So why, I’d like to ask, would one hold off on enjoying something so magical? I’m sure the first thing most people will say is that it won’t be as special if you start celebrating all the way at the beginning of November. Well, as someone who is already getting excited and does so every year, it does stay special! Christmas, for me, doesn’t get old. What could get old about the spirit of giving, being kind to one another, and eating tons of food and desserts? The Christmas season is bursting with traditions to mark off the list, presents to buy, songs to listen to, it’s impossible to do it all! So why not start early? Once Christmas passes, you have a whole year to wait until it comes around again.
