I proudly consider myself a Christmas enthusiast. As soon as Labor Day rolls around, I’m already in the holiday spirit. My excitement builds daily until mid-October when I feel like I might just burst with joy. While many may think it’s too early to celebrate, I believe the festive season is too brief if you wait until after Thanksgiving. So, I make the most of it. If you identify with these signs, you might just be a fellow Christmas lover:
- You decorate whenever you feel inspired.
When the mood strikes, you dig out the holiday bins and get to work. No space is left untouched—your bathroom might be adorned with pinecone garlands, and stockings hang from headboards. Even your kitchen cupboards feature shiny ornaments. - A wreath adorns your vehicle.
Every time you glance at your car, the wreath brings a smile to your face. It’s a way of showing the world that you’re as passionate about Christmas as Buddy the Elf. (Bonus points if you add reindeer antlers and a red nose!) - Your electric bill skyrockets.
You can’t resist the magic of lights. You start with a few and quickly find yourself needing more. Electric candles fill every window, and your tree shines so brightly that it might blind anyone who walks through your door. - You seek out Christmas shops in the summer.
Whether you just had a pool party or are enjoying a sunny day, if you pass a Christmas shop, you’re stopping in without hesitation. - Elf on the Shelf ideas are your specialty.
You’re not just trying to impress your kids; you want to wow yourself and your social media followers with creative Elf antics, like filling the sink with marshmallows. - Multiple Christmas trees are a must.
You’ve got your main tree for guests to admire, but that’s just the beginning. Mini trees dot your kitchen and bedrooms, and there might even be a show-stopper on your front porch or in your yard. - The Hallmark Channel is your constant companion.
You can’t get enough of those heartwarming Christmas movies, and they play in the background 24/7, filling your home with joy. Anyone who changes the channel better watch out! - Christmas music is always playing.
When you’re in the car, holiday tunes are blasting, whether your passengers enjoy it or not. You’ve curated a playlist of your favorite songs ready to play at any moment. - You eagerly await Halloween’s end.
While not everyone may agree, the day after Halloween is when you feel free to fully embrace the Christmas spirit without guilt. As soon as the costumes are off, the fall decorations come down, making way for the festive cheer. - You stash Christmas cookies in your freezer until May.
You bake all your favorites and then some, wondering if you’ve made enough. Just to be safe, you might even whip up another batch of peanut butter blossoms. - You ignore those who say to wait until after Thanksgiving.
No, you won’t wait. Your enthusiasm for Christmas doesn’t take away from anyone else’s holiday plans, so let the skeptics judge all they want. - You start planning Christmas dinner in July.
It’s not just about the food—you’re thinking themes, coordinating plates, and designing name tags. You might spend hours selecting the perfect font! - Every room has a Christmas-scented candle.
Your home smells like the holidays year-round, with balsam fir by the tree and cinnamon in the kitchen. Lighting them all takes a good ten minutes when you get home. - You have a dedicated closet for your decorations.
It could be your child’s closet, the boiler room, or even your partner’s side of the closet; the important thing is that all your decorations have a safe space until it’s time to set up. - Gift wrapping is an art form for you.
You can’t just grab some wrapping paper in a hurry. You take time to coordinate ribbons, bows, and paper, ensuring each gift looks perfect, even if it costs more than it should.
While some may have mixed feelings about Christmas enthusiasts, I embrace my inner elf with pride. It brings joy to my life, connects me with like-minded souls, and makes everything feel brighter with twinkling lights and festive cheer.
