1. Getting to sleep in on Christmas morning.

Instead of having little siblings jump on me at a quarter to 6 a.m. screaming "SANTA CAME, SANTA CAME," I now have my mom tapping on the door telling me it's almost eleven.

2. Feeling weirdly excited about receiving socks as a gift.

"GRANDMA, YOU GOT ME SOCKS WITH CATS ON THEM?! OH MY GOSH, THANK YOU SO MUCH I'M CRYING!"

3. Trying to buy your mom the present she deserves with your limited budget is just pitiful.

I love you so much mom, but all I can afford is this candle and a pair of really soft socks.

4. Actually, buying gifts in general is just awful.

Everything seems subpar and just not good enough, but hey, it was $5 and it's the thought that counts.

5. All the candy sitting around from stockings is a blessing and a curse.

Chocolate can be found in your hand at all times, even if you're not hungry at all.

6. After Christmas clearance is where it's AT!

The best place to get even more chocolate you don't need...

7. What are real pants?

You're pretty sure you've become one with your sweatpants.

8. Having to help cook family dinners is some form of medieval torture.

Peeling potatoes, chopping onions, and all the other undesirable yet minimal skill level jobs are designated to you.

9. Your Netflix binge skills are back in full swing.

Without school and homework to worry about, we're talking destroying a season per day.

10. No one knows what to ask you except "How's school?"

There are only so many times you can say "fine" or "good" in one night while still remaining chipper.

11. When politics are brought up, you have to bite your tongue.

Sure, agreeing on politics with your family is nearly impossible, but at the end of the day you're still going to have to see them next year.

12. Everyone goes their own way for New Year's.

You divide, conquer, and settle for sending each other "Happy New Year" texts instead of watching the ball drop with pizza.
