Holiday spirit is the mood people are in during the Christmas season, which is generally happier than any other time of the year.

It seems that the day after Thanksgiving people are ready to jump straight into Christmas, and there is a noticeable change in people. “Black Friday is a reminder that Christmas is right around the corner. This just puts me in a better mood, and I feel the presence of the holiday spirit. I know that means I will soon be on break and have an enjoyable holiday season,” says Molly Grandel. People are happier during the holiday season because they have a lot of things to look forward to.

The holiday spirit really seems to hit everyone. Going about your daily routines you may just seeing people being nicer to others. Even just little things, like holding the door open for people. It just seems to happen more during this time of the year. People are excited to give and may feel more of a desire to during this time of the year. Maybe the holiday spirit gets to people because they are reminded of all they have to be thankful for.

There are a lot of things about Christmas time that get people into the holiday spirit. “Christmas music is my favorite thing,” says Grandel. “It puts me in such a good mood. It just makes me want to be happier throughout the day.” Christmas traditions are a part of the things that make this time so enjoyable, and how do some of them not get people excited for Christmas.

Holiday spirit is just being happy and taking time to enjoy the holiday season. It should remind us that we have things to be happy about all year. During this time we should be trying to spread the holiday spirit.
