What are the origins of this fun-filled festive custom?
Many of us have a favorite celeb we particularly admire and fantasize about meeting and developing a beautiful relationship with.
Here are some of the signs you might have a celebrity crush.
How likely is it that you will ever meet your celebrity crush and have the chance to really know them?
Developing a celebrity crush is normal and can affect anyone. You're OK, remember that.
Last, but not least, stop following them on social media. It’s tempting to keep track of what your celebrity crush has been up to, but it’s better for you if you just let it go.
It could be that your celebrity crush wouldn’t take an interest in you, or the other way round. You might have a crush on a celebrity and not feel attracted to the real-life person.
Focus on your goals and work to achieve them. This will keep your mind off your celebrity crush.
If you’re single, spend some time on your own, instead of rushing into a new relationship. And, yes, this includes your celebrity crush: if you’re still mourning him or her, it won’t be good for a new relationship.
After some time, focus on dating real people in real life.
Celebrities are just like us. They have good and bad traits. They might look perfect on camera, but they’re most definitely not.
Just remove any reminders of your celebrity crush from your life.
You believe you're meant to be together and are just perfect for each other.
You know everything about your crush. You know every single detail about their professional and personal lives.
Next thing you know, you're Googling them all the time. You find out what other projects they've done, read and watch interviews, and, of course, go through their Wikipedia page.
You look them up on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, and start following everything they do.
Some people might think this is something teenagers do, but who has never thought about dating a gorgeous celebrity, really?
All it takes is a movie, a music video, or a cover of a magazine. You see that person and you develop a crush at first sight.
You stand up for that person, sometimes irrationally. It doesn’t matter what scandal hits them, you’re on their side!
Gorgeous celebs are everywhere. You check social media, they're there. You switch the TV on, and they're there. You pass by a magazine stall, and again, they're there. We're constantly bombarded by beautiful images of stunning famous people.
Some of us even end up developing a crush on a particular celebrity. We start to become enticed by everything that celeb does and says. All of a sudden, we're daydreaming about having a relationship with this person!
While this is normal ,and happens all the time to people from all ages and walks of life, sometimes it can distract us from our real lives. When we start to shift our attention from real life to a dreamed one, maybe it's time to do something about it.

And even if you did, what are the chances that person would want to date you? Think about it: we're not all attracted to each other.
Strengthen you relationship with your partner, if you have one.
You feel a bit jealous when you see your celeb crush with someone else. Even worse if he or she gets into a new relationship.
Delete any photos of them you might have, don’t read about them, don’t watch any movies they star in, don’t listen to any of their music, and so on.
Focusing on yourself and your well-being is key to getting over your celebrity crush.
What if your crush has bad personal hygiene? It's more common than you might think among celebs!
It's important to eat a balanced diet, get proper rest, and exercise. Focusing more on yourself will help you get through it all.
You start attending film premieres, book signings, and paying for meet and greet tickets. It doesn’t matter how much time and money you spend.
If this sounds like you and you want to get over your celebrity crush, here's how to do it.
