I logged onto Facebook earlier today only to see the photos above of my daughter and her roommate in my newsfeed. If ever I’ve wondered what she does with her free time while over 800 miles from home at college, now I know. Mercy. Never mind that she called me yesterday and was stressed out about a few upcoming tests. I’m just curious, but does it look like she’s studying to you? As you can see, my daughter (on the left) is one of those ahem, unique (good, safe word) people who feels a need to start celebrating Christmas sometime between Labor Day and Halloween. And clearly, I am one of those sane people who questions the sanity of people who start humming Christmas carols when sundresses and flip-flops are still in season. Is it really possible that I’m related to this child?
She has been posting status messages for weeks on Facebook to alert her friends to the fact that it’s ” 78 Days til Christmas….” or “Time to watch Elf!” Can we just enjoy looking forward to some turkey and dressing before we enter the chaotic Christmas fray? For heaven’s sake, we haven’t even handed out the Halloween candy to the trick-or-treaters yet. In her defense, I thought maybe this was her Halloween costume, but then I stumbled upon the pictures below where she and her roommate, Michelle (on the right) decided on a whim to decorate their roommate, Dori’s room for Christmas while she was in class one day. My guess is that maybe Dori wasn’t showing a proper amount of Christmas spirit and therefore was being punished for behaving in a scrooge-like manner. In other words, maybe Dori is NORMAL.
She may not be studying for those tests, but at least she gets an A+ for being a happy child. Paige, if you’re reading this, it’s time to take off your elf hat, pour yourself a mug of eggnog, and hit the books, sister. Remember, he sees you when you’re sleeping…he knows when you’re awake…he knows if you’ve been goofing off…so you better pass, for goodness sake.
Ooh, better keep her away from my girl, who’s been playing Christmas songs on the piano since summer!
Love the pictures!
Sounds just like my hubby!!! He’d already have the tree up if I’d agree. But I already compromise by putting it up mid-November. He’s already using Christmas mugs to spite me–all in fun.
lol….I did the same thing in college, and it continued even past my freshmen year. Some of my best memories actually
Looks like so much fun! I’m glad she love Christmas! Christmas + Family = Good Times! Yeah, forget Halloween let’s go straight to Thanksgiving and on to Christmas
It is a SMALL world! When I was looking at pictures on my nephews fb page I thought I recognized the cute little elf, but I just couldn’t figure for the life of me how I would know her! Must be his girlfriend and Paige are in the same sorority. Her name is Lauren and his is Alex.
I LOVE THIS!!!!!
But as soon as I’m in this house alone, I play Christmas music…year round.
Blessings!

Too stinkin’ cute! A girl after my own heart:-) I just love seeing her happy heart and pray my daughters turn out as well adjusted and grounded in their faith at such a tender age.
I think that’s perfectly normal behavior!!! LOL! One does have to wonder about the little elf dress & tights. Does she keep it on hand to put on the minute Fall hits??? Too funny.
I love this! I start listening to Christmas music as early as September! Nice to know I’m not the only one…
My 14 year old is on her way to her room to start decorating! She thinks Paige rocks!
