The Meaning of the Holidays told by 90s Cartoons.
Erin Hinchey

90s cartoon are the foundation of my childhood. I still quote them to this day. When Christmas came around, every show had their own holiday/christmas special. I remember all of them being amazing and each of them had their own perspective on the Holidays. It was great and really got me excited for the holidays. So, here is the meaning of the Holidays told by your favorite 90s cartoons. Enjoy! :)

Spongebob Squarepants: "I didn't bring Christmas to Bikini Bottom, Spongebob; you did."

Santa Claus doesn't always need to be there to make Christmas great. It's about the people that spread the Christmas cheer that make it memorable.

Hey Arnold: "Christmas is special. It's about showing the people you are close to that you really care about them."

It's not about the money value of the presents you give. It's about the heart and love you put into them that shows your loved ones that you really care.

Rugrats: "You kids can keep your high tech Holiday hooblah. In my day, all you needed for Christmas was Bing Crosby, a comfy chair, and a hot cup of coco."

Christmas doesn't have to be all flashy, as long as you are with the people you love.

Fairly Odd Parents: "It isn't the gifts. It isn't the toys. It's the family and friends that I really enjoy."

Christmas is about the people you spend it with.

Pinky & The Brain: "Please take anything you have for me and give it to my best friend in the whole world, the Brain."

Christmas is about giving, not receiving.

Recess: "Just because you can't see something with your eyes or hear something with your ears, doesn't mean it's not real. Somethings exists in your heart."

Sometimes the things that can mean most to you can't be seen or heard. It's the things that make you all warm and fussy inside.


During the holidays, it may be hard to not get distracted by all the physical things and the flashy decorations. As you get older, you realize that it isn't always about the presents and decor. It is a lot about what you love in your heart and the people you care about. So no matter what holiday you celebrate, I hope you have a great one and show your loved ones that you care.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
