Chestnuts roasting on an open fire?
YES. It is officially acceptable to listen to Christmas music as today is a very important day: November first. Out of the entire year, Christmas season makes me the happiest. I may or may have not been listening to Christmas music for a few weeks to get me in the Christmas spirit, but now that it's November I can openly share that without sounding too crazy (ok a little). Not only the music, but where would I be in life with the cheesy, predictable Netflix Christmas movies. They really mean it when they say it's the little things in life. Living in a dorm isn't exactly "home-y". It is impossible to keep clean for longer than 24 hours. It smells like Cafeteria food (& a musty basement). It is where I sleep, eat, do homework, think about life, hang out with friends, cry about life, pray-all in a very (very very) small square. All that in mind, it is difficult to feel at home in college. However, one piece of home remains in those happy Christmas songs, twinkly lights, and Netflix Christmas movies that nostalgically remind me of family time spent together. I am beyond blessed to have those memories, but now that I am away I miss them more than I ever thought I would. Last night I deep cleaned my dorm room, turned on my twinkly lights, made myself some hot cocoa, & put on Christmas music (Michael Buble obviously). I instantly became happy, overwhelmed with joy thinking about snow, family, friends, Jesus. Sometimes you have to make your own sunshine. In this case, I did and I encourage you to find what that is for you. Today is going to be a wonderful day, so go forth & make your own sunshine.
