The best part of the holiday season is that sweet spot on the calendar between Thanksgiving and the New Year where everyone's work comes to a complete stand still. Society just understands that we might as well chill during this time frame and it's completely normal for people to simply put an away message on their email that says, “OOO—Let's circle back in 2023” . Those spreadsheet issues are just going to have to wait until January to be solved. Maybe it's become normalized because everyone i…

You've heard of 'Elf on a Shelf': Now get ready for 'Tales of Elf Fails'! It's that time of the year again and parents are stressing. It's a beautiful thing to be a mom or dad and want to make this holiday season a magical time for your little ones, but dang does it take a lot of work. Nobody tells you how annoying it is to remember to move that dang Elf on a shelf every single night. What's your excuse to your kids when they wake up and their elf hasn't moved at all? You're just going to fold…

'Tis the season to be jolly, after all.

Santa Claus as a figure, as a story, and as a concept is downright creepy, Sure, they try to make him seem cute with his jolly voice and his rosy cheeks, but deep down, Santa is a home invader with a child obsession and it's just weird that everyone ignores those two facts.

People love to drink with their coworkers because it combines two parts of their lives that are always in conflict: professionalism and acting completely unprofessional. It is a truly deadly combination when fellow employees are fueled by alcohol. It's an even more huge debacle waiting to happen when that booze is provided by their employer and nobody has to pay for anything. Ergo the annual office Christmas party . As the most devastatingly inappropriate spectacle of the year, every business's…

I guess these people were on the naughty list!

Leave me alone, Karen!

Part of celebrating the holidays in these modern times is messaging everyone you know on Christmas Day, usually including a bunch of tree and present emojis. As you open your presents and share a meal with your loved ones, chances are you're also getting a bunch of texts from friends and relatives across the globe. One man named Tom decided to take a chance on Christmas Day …by texting all of his ex-girlfriends. Who knows what Tom thought when he made the choice to create a group chat with ever…

Christmas isn't for everyone; for every holiday spirit spreader out there who is spreading Christmas cheer, there are at least thirty of us who would much rather that the whole thing went away. It's not that I don't like food or receiving presents, I'm even lucky enough to have a family that I enjoy being around, but years of working retail over the holidays have spoiled the whole dammed thing for me. Years of crowding, intolerant, inconsiderate people clamoring for the best deal possible — bom…

This one is for people with poor gift-wrapping skills!

‘Tis the season to be honest about how much work you’re actually doing this month.

The proverbial phrase “Don't look a gift horse in the mouth” feels incredibly relevant when discussing invitations to Christmas celebrations — what with the whole gift-giving thing and all. Still, one might consider repurposing this into something that directly fits the occasion. I'm thinking something here along the lines of “Don't interpret an invitation on the recipient line.” — or something of that nature. Like, your name's already on the invitation dude. It's not normal to send couples mul…

This woman really is a Christmas miracle.

Sorry, Europe is expensive.
