Christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world
1. Home cooked meals at a dinner table⊠Like, actual organized feasts with other living human beings, gathered to eat simultaneously. A big change from the other 360+ days a year of solo frozen dinners on a couch.
2. People getting buzzed off of the widely loved, but often hated concoction known as eggnog. Letâs face it. Eggnog tastes like melted, off brand vanilla ice cream and either you love that or hate it.
3. Elf, which is the Christmas equivalent of Mean Girls because itâs just SO quotable.
4. Christmas music. Câmon, even if you arenât a fan, youâve got to realize that listening to Feliz Navidad is an honor, not a privilege.
5. Successfully opening a candy cane (without breaking it), which is the holiday version of getting the straw in your Capri-Sun without making a wet, sticky mess.
6. Irritating, cotton-headed ninny muggins relatives who are bearable only because theyâll be gone for another year if you put up with âem for a few days.
7. Dedicated decorators who carry the burden of having a sky-high electricity bill so we can ooh and ahh at their beautiful lights.
8. Finally finding an open parking spot at any crowded department store or over populated mall.
9. Sharing rooms with the siblings you grew up with, just like old times.
10. Devouring an absurd amount of sugar cookies. Some are sprinkled, others frosted, all full calories that are well worth it.
11. A sh-t ton of gift cards from the many people who know you, but not well enough to risk buying a specific item at a place.
12. Pies everywhere. Most people donât get pie too often throughout the year, but holidays seem to make pies and a variety of other desserts appear frequently.
13. Home Alone.
14. Seeing genuine surprise on a personâs face when you get the perfect gift that they definitely love, but never expected.
15. Finally putting the fireplace to use.
16. Extra time away from school and/or work. In this day and age, anytime napping and relaxing are options, itâs a good thing.
17. Ugly sweater parties that allow us to do our best impression of a festive Bill Cosby.
18. Being kind and patient with the seasonal employee whoâs struggling because theyâre new and flustered by the less âunderstandingâ customers.
19. ABC Familyâs 25 Days Of Christmas, which consists of movies that make us miss being 10-years-old.
20. Michael BublĂ©âs Christmas album, which is a freakinâ masterpiece.
21. The Dr. Who special.
22. Everything is prettier and outdoors smells edible â like cinnamon, vanilla and sugar are embedded in the December air.
23. Eating whatever you want, racking up the calories and putting âem on New-Yearâs-Resolution-Dieting-Youâs tab.
24. Special Christmas episodes of your favorite TV shows.
25. Not finding any large spiders in the boxes of decorations you took from the garage or attic.
