How To Be Christmas As Heck This Holiday Season

picscristmas.com

If you're anything like me, then Christmastime basically started the day after Halloween. However, if you're a normal person that waits until after Thanksgiving to start thinking about Christmas, then (finally) t'is the season. Turkey Day is over and, quite frankly, it's time for you to step up your Christmas game. Here are some tips and tricks to help you get on the same level as all of us Christmas fanatics this holiday season (warning: heavy sarcasm ahead).

1. Christmas sweaters everyday

If you don't have twelve Christmas sweaters for every day of Christmas, then you honestly need to get it together.

2. Peppermint EVERYTHING

I'm not just talking candy canes or peppermint mochas, I mean peppermint patterned clothing, peppermint accessories, peppermint-colored makeup and a container of crushed peppermint to use on everything you eat.

3. Christmas tunes

You are only allowed to listen to Christmas music during the holiday season. The Christmas music station is the one radio station your car should know and you better have Pentatonix on repeat while you're singing in the shower.

4. Classic Christmas movies

Let's be real, Netflix's collection of Christmas movies is just sad. So, what you need to do is drive to your nearest Target and buy out their classic Christmas movie selection. Because what is Christmas without "A Christmas Story" or "Elf"?

5. Cheesy made-for-TV Christmas movies

The movies don't stop with your blu-rays or DVDs, oh no, you also need to record every single Christmas movie that shows up on your TV guide, even if you've seen it five times already. The "25 Days of Christmas" marathon on Freeform is your life for the next month and if Lifetime isn't lighting up your recording schedule, then you're not doing it right.

6. Bells on bells on bells

If I can't hear Christmas bells ringing every time you move, then you seriously need to up your Christmas bell fashion game.

7. Gift wrap on level ten

Your gifts should look professionally wrapped. You're going to need at least twenty different kinds of gift wrap, all with different Christmas patterns. Every gift needs a bow on top, no exceptions. I don't care if it's wasteful, it's necessary.

8. Christmas cookies

You're going to need beautiful and delicious cookies of every look and flavor for your month-long holiday celebrations. Don't worry about the weight you're gaining, that's what New Year's resolutions are for.

9. Hot Chocolate

An everyday staple and one of the most important December food groups.

10. Caroling

Anytime, anywhere, I better hear your Christmas spirit ringing loud and clear.

11. Christmas decorations

This is the most important part of Christmas by far. They should be able to see your Christmas lights from space. You're also going to need Christmas scented candles everywhere and absolutely everything in your house had better be holiday-themed.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
