holidays

Ah, the infamous season of booze-soaked debauchery has arrived. The good old office holiday parties. Some of them can tend to get a little wild for people. Twitter users are sharing their experiences thus far with their office holiday parties. Hopefully yours managed to stay relatively decent. 

These parents shared the heartfelt story of their wonderfully wholesome Christmas tradition. There comes a time in a kid's life when they begin to question the existence of Santa. From there, it's up to the parent on how they want to handle it. They can deliver the hard truth, or maybe put their own special twist. In this case, they decide to encourage their kids to be their own versions of Santa. 

This Tumblr user decided to take an attempt at defending their favorite Christmas song, "Baby It's Cold Outside." They offered their analysis on why the song doesn't deserve all the notoriety some people give it. 

This family's wholesome Christmas tradition is our new favorite holiday story. Look out, Elf on the shelf, cause this whole Christmas vampire game sounds quite catchy. 

This customer decided to intervene on an entitled woman's irritating quest to lock down a sticker (for a free coffee journal) by ultimately doubling back and taking the sticker she'd originally turned down. The only way she could've rubbed it in the entitled customer's face more would've been to eat the sticker in front of her. Sheesh. 

This parent asked the people of Reddit whether or not they were being a jerk for regifting the iPads to their kids, after having already taken them away. The consensus on this one is pretty divided. Some people think it's a bad idea, and a cheap way to get out of gift-giving. While others think it's totally fine, and that the kids will be absolutely stoked to get their iPads back. 

Twitter users are dreaming up all the imaginative ways to ruin a Thanksgiving. It doesn't take a whole lot to ruin a high pressure holiday that brings all kinds of testy family members together. A surefire way to bring the bad vibes at the dinner table on Thanksgiving would always seem to center on mentioning politics. Now there's a big no-no. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the most elaborate pranks they pulled/had pulled on them during the holidays. People really cook up all kinds of mischievous behavior during the holidays to keep themselves entertained. 

Americans are sharing the grossest sides that show up at their tables for Thanksgiving dinner. Tis the season for all kinds of unexplainable madness from the family. The holidays just bring it out of people. And sometimes that means gross side dishes that have been passed down from generation to generation, when they should've been abandoned from the get-go. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share their trashiest Thanksgiving memories. The common theme amongst these especially trashy moments is one of overconsumption. The overconsumption of the sauce! 

This dad asked the people of Reddit whether or not he was in the wrong for cutting his mother-in-law out of Christmas, after he hit his breaking point with her. It sounds like she's a toxic drama-stirring, upstaging mess. Might be best for the kids to not have that kind of person around, come the holidays? Or is he overstepping? 

Apparently a whole lot of people received random delayed text messages last night that were originally sent on Valentine's Day. This made for some very awkward interactions between people that had broken up with exes. Outside that it inspired a definite wave of mass confusion. 

These dad jokes are awful and we absolutely love them. You don't have to be a dad to like these truly shudder-worthy jokes, but if you are a dad, happy Father's Day. If you're not a dad, happy... day. We hope you enjoy causing pain to your loved ones with these horrendous jokes. 

Twitter user @Kane's stories about his dad in honor of Father's Day bear a striking resemblance to the legend, Ron Swanson. Sounds like one very cool dad!
