The good news is: Finals are a thing of the past. Christmas Break is in full swing.

The good news also is: Delish.com published 32 "Christmas Cocktails" on their website.

The best part about these recipes is that many of them serve one. So if you want to channel your inner Grinch, you can drink them quietly and alone, while cursing everyone from your window. Or you can be a little Cindy Lou Who and share your glass of Christmas joy with friends, family, and complete strangers.

Ideally I would like to try every single one of these cocktails, but in an attempt to be a mature adult, I selected five that I must try. If I stumble upon the other 27, then so be it.

1. Cranberry Mimosa

It's like a classier version of a Vodka Cranberry, but I will be enjoying it next to my fireplace where I can wear fuzzy socks and watch Elf. I will not be drinking it in a crowded bar with spilled beer that didn't belong to me all down my shirt.

Find the recipe here.


2. Pomegranate Moscow Mule

I don't know how I feel about the seeds in there. It seems like a choking hazard for someone as accident prone as myself, but nonetheless I am a huge pomegranate fanatic and I will be indulging.

3. Candy Cane-Kahlua Hot Chocolate

This reminds me of a mudslide that requires effort. Nothing like some fun "cooking" with mom on Christmas morning as you bring the alcoholic beverage of your choice to a simmer while laughing joyfully. I plan to drink this guy until even the ugliest of sweaters look good.

4. Sparkling Winter Sangria

I had to google "Prosecco" because I haven't cultured myself much past Coors Light and Barefoot moscato. "Prosecco" is a white Italian wine for those of you wondering, and since it's used in this beverage you can bet that I'll be familiarizing myself with it shortly.

Find the recipe here.

5. Irish Coffee

Adding whiskey to your coffee is no unfamiliar concept to Irish people, or even to angry people. Falling into both of those categories, I'm extremely excited to drink this concoction for breakfast in the near future. I better not drive after, so I'll have to follow it up with a day of lounging. Shucks.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
