17 Things That You Can't Have Christmas Without

1. A weird uncle that everyone loves.

Sometimes, uncles can be pretty weird, but we love them anyways. Here is a shot that describes the weirdness better than words ever can.

2. Presents!!!

Being covered in presents is an amazing feeling at Christmas, but what's much better is giving them. Seeing this many presents for one of the sweetest ladies in the world was quite a fun experience.

3. Grandmas.

What would Christmas be without grandparents? My grandparents make Christmas much more enjoyable, and much funnier.

4. Christmas Dinner!! (or Lunch in this case..)

There are many Christmas traditions around the world, but a fairly common one is Christmas Dinner. In this certain picture, some people were standing around waiting to open presents. (They may have been more excited than the kids were.)

5. Crazy Cousins

Cousins are very fun to be around, and can be your best friends. In this certain picture, my 9 year old cousin wanted to dress up like his grandpa, so he took a tie, a shirt, and a pillow, then the magic happened.


6. Junk Foods for Dinner

There are so many different Christmas foods, but on Christmas Eve this year, my family ate so many appetizers. They were absolutely delicious, but they were all so bad for us.

7. The Mom

The mom may, or may not actually have children. The mom takes care of what seems like everything. She does the dishes, she takes care of the kids, she breaks up arguments, and she cooks and cleans before and after the meal.


8. The Peeker

Everyone has the peeker in their family, whether they know it or not. In this instance, it was my little cousin. Slyly trying to find out what the present is before he opens it. As you can imagine, The Mom was not having this behavior.

9. SANTA!!!!

Christmas wouldn't be complete without Santa! Granted this Santa is female and beardless (the two are not mutually exclusive), Santa is still at this Christmas celebration.

10. Food Comas

After eating so much food, how can someone not fall into a food coma? In this case, Santa has fallen under while sitting in The Mom's lap (even though Santa is as big as Mom is.)

11. Decorations!

Christmas decorations are almost as important as the people to celebrate with! The decorations don't have to be grand or crazy, just a few things showing spirit will work. See here, it's simple and cute.

12. Funny Videos

Everyone is watching this video, and everyone is laughing except the girl in the middle, but that's because someone is sitting on her.

13. The Clothes

Every year at Christmas, my family gets clothes from our aunt. The monogram just adds to it's appeal for this certain teen.


14. Did I mention naps?

Naps. That is all the caption needed for this picture.

15. A Tree

No matter how big or how small, a tree is a Christmas must. This one is a little tabletop tree, but the room around it is well used with the number of presents surrounding it.


16. The Technology

The post-lunch, pre-present dip in activity is filled with computers and phones to keep our minds active. This helps prevent food comas.

17. That One Gift

What would Christmas be without getting that one gift that makes you make this face? After wrapping, boxes, and more wrapping, the gift at the end was well worth the struggle getting to the present. Give a gift that makes the recipient make this face.

I hope y'all had as good of a Christmas as I did. Now on to the New Year!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
