Do you start the holiday as soon as the 1st of December hits? Or are you a Christmas Grinch? Which type of person are you this December? Let’s find out… F.R.I.E.N.D.S style.
1. The One Who Has 2018 Planned Out
Though some people leave it for New Years to come up with some resolution that doesn’t come to pass past January, you can’t help but get your entire year planned out; your next job/promotion, next partner/wedding, which friends you’ll be pawning off to fit in new ones and which month they’ll be coming in. Like calm down. Most of us don’t even know what we’ll be eating tomorrow!
2. The One Who Loves Christmas a Little Too Much
Do you put on Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” On the 1st of December? Yeah. You definitely fall in this category. You’ve probably already gotten all your gifts ready, all your Christmas decoration are not even just out of the box but have completely taken over your living space. You probably also struggle with post-Christmas depression if it’s not the month of December, and you’re also the one most likely to organise activities like Secret Santa at home, in the office, and in ALL your social groups.
3. The One Who Becomes the Christmas Grinch
If you wince at the word “Christmas”, “Merry”, or “Holiday”, you’re this person. In fact, you not only hate Christmas, but you probably hate that 2018 is coming and dread the New Years. Your plan is to probably get absolutely smashed and usher in the New Year without remembering what happened at your last 2017 moments. Wait. Your plan is to probably get smashed the entire time between Christmas and the New Year. Yes. I’m not going to say that’s a bad plan though.
4. The One with the Holiday Guidelines
If hate people who play Christmas songs too early, or that some have already gotten their presents before the 25th, or that people aren’t wearing red or green clothing during Christmas, you’re definitely this person. And I can bet that when it’s not Christmas, you’re also a total control-freak. Like you have to wear red for Chinese New Year and hate others who don’t follow and rule, or worse… wear black. Don’t be such a Monica. Don’t be my grandmother. Let people enjoy things.
5. The One Who Can’t Stop Being Mariah Carey/Michael Bubble
Yes. We know you can sing. It doesn’t mean you have to do it at every second. You’re this person if you’re constantly humming, singing, whistling and playing all the holiday classics, and if you heard Santa’s bells even when you’re asleep. The rest of us only have two options to deal with you: join you or invest in some noise-cancelling headphones.
6. The One Who Needs to be a Gourmet Chef
You have probably immediately gone on Pinterest the moment you heard ‘Jingle Bells’ and found hundreds of recipes for you to try out this holiday. And of course your family members/besties/partners will ultimately be your guinea pigs. Most of all, you’re an absolute foodie – whether you can cook actual food or not.
7. The One Who Needs to Watch All the Movies/TV Series
With the year ending and the fact that it’s practically a holiday for all of us, we’ll all be using what remains of our leave days (or just enjoying a holiday if you’re not working yet). And what better way to spend your December watching a tonne of movies and series, under the covers with some nice hot chocolate and marshmallows? This is probably me.
8. The One Who Turns into a Ted Mosby
Yes, I just mixed 2 very similar TV Shows into this article. If you already relate to the title, then allow me to tell (warn) the others. You love the whole idea of the mistletoe and kissing, you spend December planning out who you’ll be spending Christmas and New Years with, and you’ve probably bought 2 tickets to somewhere romantic months ago. Even when you’re going shopping, there’s a little spark in you that hopes to meet the love of your life whilst Christmas shopping, surrounded by glitter, colours and cute Christmas music – if you’re single. And if you’re not, you’ve probably know what you’re doing every day with your partner this December.
9. The One Who Turns Everything into a Christmas Miracle
Your mom won a couple of bucks off the lottery? Christmas miracle. You found a dollar on the floor? Christmas miracle. You found your lost charger? Definitely Christmas miracle. And not only do you believe in every coincidental thing being a Christmas miracle, you also can’t help in creating ‘miracles’ of your own like helping someone. And of course, it did not happen unless you’ve posted it on your social media profile(s), ending with a sweet Christmas miracle-related quote… something… something… about people creating miracles of their own… or something. You get the gist.
10. The One Whose Job Comes First
Christmas? What Christmas? To you, your projects and clients come first. You’ve got to put building gingerbread houses with your mom aside because you’ve got to meet your clients for Christmas and network your way up the corporate ladder. Or work overtime on Christmas Eve itself. It’s not such a bad thing for some, but just remember to always take it easy (not too easy) and don’t overwork yourself and/or forget your family.
Jokes aside, have a Merry Christmas to all of you!
