​There\'s no better way to describe your emotions than by using One Direction gifs, and, as it turns out, those boys are also pretty good at explaining the many stages of Christmas.

1. When you start dreaming of all the turkey and mince pies in early November: 

​2. When people moan that it\'s too early in the year to start playing Christmas songs.

3. When you and your friends completely ignore them:

​6. When you search your house for hidden presents and try not to get to caught:

​7. The very second you wake up on Christmas morning: 

​8. When you run downstairs and see a pile of presents waiting just for you: 

​9. When your dad says nobody\'s allowed to open anything until he gets some family pictures:

14. When you gather round the table to read the Christmas cracker jokes out loud: 

15. When your Grandma says you\'ll never be able to eat all the turkey you\'ve put on your plate.

17. And when you finally crash out after slipping into a food coma:
