The Christmas season is finally upon us. In the world of DIY and Christmas-themed goodies, you can find ideas on Pinterest and in stores for canvases, Christmas cards, and apparel donned with beautiful Christmas song lyrics. From "It's the most wonderful time of the year…" to "Walking in a winter wonderland…" and "Merry and bright," are there any Christmas song lyrics that wouldn't work?

Yes. Yes there are.

27 or more to be exact. I'm actually leaving some off of this list that were just too much for this article. Here's some you probably shouldn't use for your crafts this year.

1. "I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus."

Potential marital infidelity, what a festive theme

2. "The weather outside is frightful."

("Let It Snow") A little different from "Walking in a winter wonderland…"

3. "Say, what's in this drink?"

("Baby, It's Cold Outside") Spiking beverages is a sure-fire way to end up on Santa's nice list, most definitely…

4. "Ding dong ding dong"

("Caroling Caroling") Those kinds of lyrics just give you chills

5. "Only a hippopotamus will do"

("I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas") Even context doesn't fully explain this one…

6. "Mommy and Daddy are mad"

("I'm Gettin' Nuttin' For Christmas") Merry Christmas to all.

7. "I met a man who lived in Tennessee"

("Home for the Holidays") How is this relevant to Baby Jesus…?

8. "Somebody snitched on me"

("I'm Gettin' Nuttin' For Christmas") Of all the things I enjoy during the holiday season, hearing about disobedient children is pretty far down the list.

9. "There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray"

("Sleigh Ride") Again, how is this relevant unless this birthday party is for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?

10. "Nine ladies dancing"

("The 12 Days Of Christmas") Those three words just so concisely capture the spirit of the season.

11. "Eight maids a'milking"

("The 12 Days Of Christmas") As do these.

12. "Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you"

("Do They Know It's Christmas?") WHOA whoa whoa, that's not insensitive at ALL, Band-Aid.

13. "He sees you when you're sleeping"

("Santa Claus Is Coming To Town") How comforting.

14. "It’s a world of dread and fear"

("Do They Know It's Christmas?") Thanks for reminding me

15. "How lovely are thy branches"

("O Christmas Tree") Does this count as idolatry?

16. "The cattle are lowing"

("Away in a Manger") You know how exams ask for the best possible choice? This is not it.

17. "You better not cry"

("Santa Claus Is Coming To Town") I'm most happy when I'm threatened into it.

18. "Scary ghost stories"

("It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year") I don't know how your family celebrates the holidays, but…

19. "You can say there's no such thing as Santa"

("Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer") Let's not put this one on the Christmas card this year…

20. "Hoofprints on her forehead"

("Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer") … or this one.

21. "Figgy pudding"

("We Wish You A Merry Christmas") Maybe it's the pumpkin pie of England, I don't know, but…

22. "I am a poor boy too, pa rum pa pum pum"

("The Little Drummer Boy") The anthem of college students everywhere.

23. "With a tail as big as a kite"

("Do You Hear What I Hear?") This sounds like some creative form of body positivity..

24. "A child, a child shivers in the cold"

("Do You Hear What I Hear?") Way to put the "joy" in "Joy to the World," Earl.

25. "Thumpity thump thump"

("Frosty The Snowman") Just casually put this on a canvas with no context.

26. "We'll have some fun before I melt away"

("Frosty The Snowman") Never too early to start teaching children about the fleetingness of life.

27. "She didn't see me creep"

("I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus") There are few occasions where this statement could lead to anything good.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
