In the wake of the recent "Once Upon a Time" midseason finale, I can honestly say that the anticipation is going to drive me insane until the show comes back in March. I'm talking cliffhanger on cliffhanger on cliffhanger. However, I am finally on winter break now, which means that it is time for me to focus on chilling out, spending time with family and friends, and celebrating Christmas. Personally, the holiday season is one of my favorite things and Once Upon a Time is one of my favorite tv series, so I figured why not combine the two for this week's article? Enjoy!

1. When you realize that finals week is over so you can actually relax and celebrate.

2. When you realize that being in college means no homework over the break.

3. When your entire family has Christmas dinner together and you get asked about marriage and kids.

4. When you're trying to keep it together after watching a sappy Hallmark movie.

5. When your inner darkness keeps convincing you to eat more cookies, never exercise, and sleep in until noon every day of break.

6. When Mom has the camera out versus when she puts it away.

7. When you stay up all night wrapping gifts.

8. When you use 'gift shopping' as an excuse to buy things for yourself.

9. When the weather outside is frightful.

10. When you overhear someone hating on Christmas.

11. When break is over and you have to go back to school.
