Struggles of a Christmas lover in November

Around the time of November, the topic of Christmas is very controversial. Many people believe Christmas festivities should not commence before Thanksgiving is over. However, Christmas lovers see November as an appropriate time to start celebrations. Over the course of the month, these Christmas enthusiasts face harsh judgement as they attempt to express their excitement in public. Here are just few of the struggles that these people face until Thanksgiving.

Most people refuse to listen to Christmas music until Thanksgiving is over. For the Christmas fanatics, November marks a time acceptable to listen to Christmas music. These people have to listen to their music under the radar, however, or else they will face criticism from their peers.

Resisting the urge to wear Christmas sweaters

During Christmas time, sweaters are a fun way to express excitement while staying warm during the cold weather. However, wearing these sweaters in November automatically comes with mean looks and snide comments in public. These come so often that the joy of a Christmas sweater is not even worth it until Thanksgiving is over.

Keeping your friend’s gifts a secret

Most holiday enthusiasts not only get their own lists done early, but also finalize the presents for their friends and family ahead of time. Keeping these gifts secret for a longer amount of time can be difficult, especially when the gift is absolutely a perfect fit for their loved ones.
