If Christmas takes over your life the moment the clock strikes midnight on November 1st, this list is for you! Whether you’re the person who starts playing holiday music in October or the one who transforms their home into a winter wonderland, these signs might just prove you’re officially Christmas-obsessed.
1. You Put Up Your Tree Way Too Early
While others debate the “right” time to decorate, your tree is up before the Thanksgiving turkey is carved. Bonus points if you have multiple trees for different themes. Personally, I start decorating Thanksgiving evening. That was always my mom’s tradition so I have chosen to stick to that. Also, I put up a live tree and they will lose too many needles if put up earlier.
2. Your Holiday Playlist Runs Year-Round
Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” isn’t a seasonal song—it’s a lifestyle. You’ve also curated the ultimate holiday playlist that gets better every year.
3. You Own More Christmas Sweaters Than Regular Clothes
From quirky ugly sweaters to chic holiday cardigans, your wardrobe screams “festive cheer” all December long. Let’s not even talk about the matching pajamas.
4. You’ve Seen Every Hallmark Christmas Movie (More Than Once)
You can recite the plot of every movie: small-town girl meets handsome stranger, saves Christmas, and falls in love. And you love it every single time. Guilty.
5. Your Home Could Rival Santa’s Workshop
Your holiday decor game is unmatched. Lights, wreaths, garlands, and inflatable lawn ornaments? Check! Even your bathroom gets festive. Guilty again.

6. You Shop for Christmas Gifts All Year Long
You’re the person who has a secret stash of gifts in July, just waiting to be wrapped in December. Black Friday? You’re already done shopping by then.
7. You Have Strong Opinions on Christmas Cookies
You’re not just baking for fun; you’re competing with yourself to create the ultimate batch of cookies. Your secret weapon? Perfectly piped royal icing and festive sprinkles.
8. Your Holiday Calendar Is Packed
From cookie exchanges to tree-lighting ceremonies and festive movie nights, your December schedule is busier than Santa’s. But you wouldn’t have it any other way.
9. You Know the Perfect Christmas Light Routes
Every year, you map out the best neighborhoods for holiday lights. It’s a non-negotiable tradition, complete with hot cocoa and carols.
10. You Have a Holiday Scent for Every Room
Your home smells like a magical blend of pine, cinnamon, and sugar cookies. You’ve got candles, wax melts, and sprays to match every holiday vibe. Guilty again.
11. You’ve Written a Letter to Santa (Recently)
Sure, it might have been a joke—but deep down, you’re holding out hope he’ll deliver that dream vacation or new gadget.
12. You Host or Attend Every Holiday Party
Whether it’s an ugly sweater bash, Secret Santa exchange, or gingerbread house contest, you’re always in the center of the holiday action.
13. You Count Down the Days Like a Kid
An advent calendar isn’t optional. Bonus points if it’s themed, DIY, or filled with fancy chocolates.
14. You Own a Ridiculous Amount of Wrapping Paper
