  • Hey, everyone! My name is Tyler Oakley.

  • And I really love Christmas.

  • Not for like the Santa reasons

  • or like the Jesus reasons,

  • like both of those white-washed people

  • don't really get me going for the holiday season.

  • Like it doesn't have to be Christmas even, it can just be any holiday

  • I'm just all about those December holidays

  • I love themed music, I love themed emojis, so much so

  • that even when Christmas is over, going into the New Year, (January I'll take some time off)

  • But like starting February I'm already back into it.

  • This February, for example, February 7th 2015, I tweeted

  • my love for Christmas themed emojis and music.

  • And how much I was already missing them.

  • And I will say, y'all are pretty much the best people ever on twitter.

  • You're funny and hilarious and you crack me up and you drag me accordingly.

  • But one tweet in response to that tweet in particular,

  • caught my eye. And it was from Wild Oakley on Twitter.

  • Her name is Tasha, and she told me,

  • "Oh my God, less than a year until Christmas!"

  • Obviously, its always less than a year until Christmas,

  • but, Tasha reminded me of that,

  • And I was like, "Oh my God, the countdown is on!"

  • And so when I saw that tweet from Tasha, I was like,

  • "Thank you for bringing that thought into my head

  • and putting a smile on my face."

  • If you get a chance, ever Tasha,

  • always remind me of how many days we have left until Christmas.

  • Like, it doesn't have to be everyday,

  • But I told her, if you get a chance!

  • And lo and behold, thus started my countdown to Christmas.

  • And Tasha, did not disappoint!

  • Tasha reminded me at 319 days,

  • which reminded me of making Christmas cookies with my mom, which is one of my favorite things.

  • At 297 days, she reminded me,

  • and that made me think of like slumber parties with my nieces and nephews.

  • At 224 days, she reminded me in person for the first time;

  • it was the first time we ever met at my Slumber Party Tour.

  • She reminded me at 183 days,

  • which is 6 months until Christmas, which made me very excited,

  • because it means we are dangerously close to reblogging that post on tumblr

  • that's like "Are you ready to jingle your bells?"

  • Which is like one of my favorite tumblr posts for the holiday season.

  • She reminded me at 100 days, which I kind of already knew about

  • because I was already listening to my Christmas playlist on Spotify,

  • because it's never too early for Christmas music.

  • She reminded me at 91 days with the Santa emoji.

  • At 47 days when she reminded me that I should probably get started with my gift shopping.

  • And, at 17 days, where she hoped that

  • even though I was traveling all around the world, all year,

  • that I would find time to make it home this holiday season.

  • I feel like I get so much love from all of you, not just Tasha,

  • and you put smiles on my face all year long.

  • This holiday season, I was gonna send Tasha a Christmas card,

  • but I don't know if she celebrates Christmas.

  • Whatever you celebrate, Tasha, I hope its a merry whatever.

  • Um, I hope that whatever you celebrate,

  • or if you celebrate nothing at all, you day is good.

  • And, that's it. I love you. I will see you guys soon! Bye!

  • My Christmas sweater isn't even Christmas-y.

Hey, everyone! My name is Tyler Oakley.
