Ah, tis the season for gifts.

Although Christmas Day has passed, you can be sure to receive a few more gifts from those you didn't see on the big day. As we speak, I'm wrapping up my gifts and preparing for Christmas morning (hence, the short article.) However, as much as we all love receiving gifts, we've all had that awkward moment of faking our enthusiasm. As we all know, sometimes it truly is the thought that counts- so here are 13 things you can say if you're not feeling your gift- but as always, remember to be kind!

1. Wow! It's so unique!

2. Thank you, you shouldn't have!

3. Oh my gosh! I've wanted (insert lame gift here) for so long!

4. You know me so well!

5. I love it!

6. Thank you so much, I'm so excited to wear it/use it/return it- I mean brag about it!

7. Where'd you get this? It's fantastic!

8. Aw (insert name here) I told you that you didn't need to get me anything!

9. It's awesome, I don't have anything like it!

10. Stop, how'd you know??!

11. I'm too spoiled this year, thank you!

12. When I looked at the wrapping paper I knew this one was a winner!

13. You're the queen/king/god/goddess of gift giving!

Happy faking!

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
