How to tell if you're a true Christmas person

If your Christmas countdown for the following year starts Dec. 26th and your favorite playlists are holiday-themed, chances are you are a Christmas person through and through. Take a look at these telltale signs to see how much of a Christmas person you truly are1. Christmas songs can never air too earlyYou enter a store in November and hear the opening notes of a Christmas song with utter delight. As you look around the store expecting to see more smiles, you find other faces aren't so happy, and are often accompanied by disgruntled complaining about the fact "We're not even in December yet!" But this doesn't stop you singing along to all the lyrics. And yes, that includes Mariah Carey's festive hit "All I Want For Christmas Is You."And let's not forget the Christmas carols – you're always humming along at any given moment. 2. Christmas sweaters become your uniform in DecemberWhat's not to love? Woolly, warm and fun, you have a whole range of these festive sweaters from a fluffy one with a flashing red Rudolph nose to a classy snowflake-patterned jumper. They each suit a different festive occasion. 3. You try to visit as many Christmas events as humanly possibleYou do your research to find out times, dates and places for the best Christmas events around, whether that's markets, light shows, or yet another local version of "The Nutcracker." You fill your calendar with festivities to maintain your level of excitement throughout the whole lead up to the big day. 4. Taking a tour of house Christmas lights is a mustIf you've lived in an area for a while, you'll already know the hot spots for over-the-top house decorations. You love seeing the homes that go all out every year, with illuminated reindeer in the garden and colored lights cascading down the walls. Some may call it tacky, but you just call it festive. 5 . You're a die-hard Christmas movie fanSpeaking of "Die Hard," you're not quite sure if it can be categorized as a Christmas film, but you love all of the festive movies on offer, from the classics such as "It's a Wonderful Life" and "Miracle on 34th Street" to hilarious comedies such as "Home Alone," "Elf" and "Scrooged." You have even been known to watch Christmas films at other times of the year — you just can't resist!6. A lot of time and effort goes into your festive decoratingShopping for new lights, baubles and tinsel fills you with happiness. You already know exactly what your Christmas tree will look like, along with the ceiling decorations and table setting. But you almost have too many ornaments to handle so you have limitless decorating choices.7. You buy way too many presentsIt's easy to get carried away with Christmas shopping, and before you know it, the gifts under the tree are no longer in a pretty neat circle but are spilling out in all directions. But you wouldn't have it any other way. 8. Spreading Christmas excitement and cheer is your annual missionYou may get on the nerves of some friends and family, but you will never quit talking about how great Christmas is and trying to make others feel as excited as you. Turning a frown upside down on a scrooge's face is a point of pride for you. 9. You fantasize about Christmas dinner for far too longThe Christmas meal is the culinary highlight of your year. You just can't get enough ham, mashed potatoes, pie or whatever else means Christmas to you, so you spend an inordinate amount of time daydreaming about the dinner in the lead-up to Christmas Day. 10. You plan for the holiday period months in advanceNothing is going to stop you from enjoying your favorite time of year. You make sure to book holiday off work well in advance and get plans with friends and family sorted in good time. 11. You wish it could be Christmas every dayJust like they sing in the Wizzard song, you really do wish it could be Christmas every day. But even though you know it can't be, you stretch out the festivities for as long as possible.
