Perks To Celebrating Christmas With Younger Siblings
Monica Montes

Everyone over the age of sixteen stops getting really excited about Christmas because the years of joy come to an end, you stop believing in Santa, you start heading towards the years when you can actually afford shopping and buying people gifts instead of receiving them all. Well not in my house. I am the second child out of four, ages ranging from twenty-three to seven. For us? Christmas never got boring. Here's what it's like to celebrate Christmas with younger siblings.

You can actually go shopping for them

You can eat the chocolate in their advent calendar when they don't want it

No one judges you when you run up to Santa with your siblings

You'll always have someone to watch Christmas movies with

Christmas crafts? Of course!

You start to believe in Santa for a bit because they still believe


They're always up for a drive around town to look at Christmas lights


It's totally okay to wear festive things in public because of them

You get to have the milk and cookies when they're asleep

You feel like the Grinch when his heart grows every Christmas Eve when they run to their beds to fall asleep.

Getting to watch them open presents in the morning makes you feel like a successful elf


Hope all the big kids enjoy this magical time of year with their younger siblings!

Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
