Christmastime!

Fun fact: "Christmastime" is all one word!

Not gonna lie, it is a little hard to get in the holiday spirit in college.  You're stressed, you're far from your family, you have to make all new traditions, your ostriches all go home to Australia, etc.  There are, fortunately, easy ways to feel Christmassy.

1) Buy one of those candle wax melters (which are permitted in dorms, but candles aren't) and get some pine tree or cinnamon or pumpkin scented wax.  Don't buy cookie scented anything though or you will be hungry ALL THE TIME.
2) Steal Christmas lights from your house over Thanksgiving break and decorate your room and the hall outside your room with them.  Similarly, you can get cheap stockings and other such nonsense at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and thrift stores.
3) Get candy canes or holiday coffee creamers or hot chocolate or something so that you can taste the holiday deliciousness as well as see it.
4) While you are at the thrift store, get a really warm and equally ugly Christmas sweater.  Actually, get two and send one to me in the mail! (Seriously, you should totally do that because it would make my day).
5) Christmas music is da bomb.  Amy Grant has a really good Christmas album (and if you don't know who Amy Grant is, maybe you should be hungry all the time).
