'The Office' Christmas Episodes, Ranked

NBC

It's every white American's favorite sitcom. And now that it's Christmas, it's time to bingewatch the holiday episodes. Here is my recommended viewing order (the best is listed at #7 because apparently we're not allowed to do count-down articles anymore).

1. Christmas Wishes (Season 8)

Okay, as much as I love Erin and how cute and relatable she is in this episode, I have to rank it last. It's the first Christmas without Michael Scott, instead we get Robert California (I just don't like him, I'm sorry), and the awkwardness between one of my favorite couples (Andy & Erin) just make it hard to watch.

2. "Dwight Christmas" (Season 9)

Don't get me wrong: I love seeing Dwight's traditional Christmas. The episode just isn't nearly as funny as some of the others on this list. Add Erin being sad about Andy (again :/), no Michael Scott, and the fact that let's be real, the show had peaked a few seasons back, and this episode lands at number six.

3. Moroccan Christmas (Season 5)

This episode has a couple great elements: Meredith's intervention and the rehab scene, and the tension between Phyllis and Angela, ending with Phyllis finally standing up for herself. That and "Do you take requests? Please stop." But overall, it just doesn't land as nicely as some of the others.

4. Classy Christmas (Season 7)

This one's great. We've got Michael and Holly reunited, and we've got the snowball fight. While it's great to see our OTP reunited, and we know where it goes, it's still hard to watch the tension between them in this two-parter.

5. Secret Santa (Season 6)

This episode is amazing. It has the cute Andy & Erin moments, Michael as Jesus, "I need this, I need this!", and the branch finds out they're not out of their jobs. Definitely lands in the top 3.

6. Christmas Party (Season 2)

The first Christmas episode. Aside from how painful it was to watch Michael insult Phyllis's gift so hard, this was a great Christmas special. It just wasn't quite as funny as my pick for #1:

7. Benihana Christmas

A phenomenal Christmas episode. Too many jokes to name. Too many iconic lines, including "Christmas is cancelled." Hands down deserves it's spot at #1 on the list.

Merry bingewatching, everyone!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

Thank you for all that you do for me
Thank you for working through disagreements with me
Thank you for always supporting me
I appreciate you more than words can express
You have helped me grow and become a better person
I can't wait to see where life takes us next
I promise to cherish every moment with you
Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
