23 Christmas Love Languages

Everyone knows the five love languages, and everyone also knows that they say a million other things are their love languages: donuts, puppies, etc.

Well, as Christmas rolls around, and because I've never heard of anyone who doesn't like Christmas, I think there are some special holiday love languages that everyone is sure to respond to. What of these makes you most joyful during Christmas?

1. Hot Cocoa and Apple Cider

If this is your Christmas love language, you probably drink it all year round. However, it's much more satisfying when your hands are cold and you cozy up in a blanket.

2. Stockings above the fireplace

If stockings are your love language, you probably love the candy canes and socks more than you like gifts under the tree. And, you probably have a stocking for your pets, too.

3. Driving to look at Christmas lights

The best part about this is that you don't even have to get out of your nice, heated car at all. You're also probably the one who begs your family to slow down or stop so that you can catch the full glimpse (even if there's a trail of cars waiting on you).

4. Putting up your own Christmas lights

Hopefully, you were more successful than the Griswold's, but once you spend some family time and turn those lights on, the cold, dry hands are completley worth it. It's not a surprise if your family can't find you because you were sitting outside staring at your lights.

5. Hanging ornaments on the tree

You have all of your special ornaments, and if anyone touches them... they're dead. All of the ugly ones go in the back, and all of your favorites go in the front.

6. Snow (if there every is any)

We would all love to go back to our childhood and make snow angels and igloos. But...who says we have to go to back to our childhood to want this?

7. Braum's Egg Nog Ice Cream

You've been waiting for it practically all year. You were the first in line when it came out, and if they're ever out when you go, you're tempted to leave and find the next Braum's. No matter how far.

8. Giving gifts

Successfully getting someone a good gift is the most satisfying feeling in the world. You probably spent too much money, but that's okay.

9. Baking cookies

Santa shaped, gingerbread shaped, star shaped...you name it, we'll make it! Don't forget the sprinkles and the flour so the dough doesn't stick. However, you probably already knew that.

10. Christmas music

This one can sometimes be a struggle. You hear it everywhere you: shopping, in the car, in a restaurant. And you can't decide if you like it or not. However, it's only for about one month. Just give me some Justin Bieber and Mariah Carey, and I'll be on top of the world!

11. 25 Days of Christmas on Freeform

ABC Family, FreeForm, we're not really sure. No matter the name of the station, you bet you can be found with your eyes glued to the TV anxiously awaiting for the Christmas movie of the night to start.

12. Family Christmas parties

Whether it's a vacation, just a family dinner at someone's house, or you have a rent out a space, family Christmas parties are so exciting (and sometimes obnoxious, if we're being honest.) However, there's nothing like everyone coming together, grandparents who don't remember your name and so many little cousins you can't keep their names straight. Christmas parties are something to cherish, people.

13. Matching pajamas on Christmas morning

Yes, even the dog gets matching pajamas. Why wouldn't they?

14. The after-Christmas sales

25% off? 50% off? 75%? I pray that every day is the day after Christmas.

15. Peppermint Bark

It's the simplest recipe, but it just doesn't feel right to make it any other time than Christmas. And store bought? Absolutely not. That peppermint bark will be homemade if you have anything to say about it.

16. Starbucks red cups

Everyone was probably a little skeptical after the fit that everyone threw last year, but Starbucks, you nailed it for 2016. You're not really sure whether you're going back every day for a drink or to see if you get a different cup.

17. Winter Starbucks drinks


Everyone freaks out for the pumpkin spice latte, but if this is your love language, you know that the peppermint and other winter flavors are beyond better. Venti, please.

18. Making gingerbread houses

They never turn out as good as the ones on the box, but what sort of Christmas is it if you don't make a gingerbread house?

19. Setting out cookies and milk for Santa

We're still not sure how the milk stays cold for Santa, but we think his magic takes care of it. And absolutely do NOT forget to leave carrots out for the reindeer.

20. Hallmark movies

If Hallmark movies are your love language, you absolutely cannot wait for Christmas season to begin. Despite all the hate you might get from your family members, there's nothing that could take you away from the couch while you correctly predict the ending of every single movie.

21. Warm fires in the fireplace

For when the weather outside is frightful, your fire is waaay delightful. It just doesn't feel right to sit in front of your fireplace during any other time of the year besides Christmas.

22. Watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (and Elf, duh)

I think this is basically a part of every family's Christmas tradition. Chances are, your dad can probably quote every line and if your family didn't watch it on the same day every year, is it even Christmas?

23. Throwing a birthday party for Jesus

Although the holiday has become dominated by gifts and lights and trees, for some, it's not Christmas unless a birthday party is specifically thrown for our Savior.

Which one of these is your Christmas love language?

Merry Christmas, everyone!

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
