Christmas: The one time a year when it is OK to dress in ugly sweaters and guilt your family into getting pictures taken. Too often, though, those pictures turn out very different than we expected. Many pictures are painfully embarrassing. Here are the best of those photos.

1. Merry Creep-mas!

This dog's face says what we're all thinking.

2. "He Sees You When You're Sleeping....."

3. I have so many questions.

The first question being....why?

4. 'Tis the season!

For some reason, this reminds me of that one weird group of teachers at school that are always over the top, encouraging weird behavior. Don't they just look like they sat in the teacher lounge planning this for months? "Karen, did you order the Christmas tree outfit yet?" "Jeff, I'll help you sew your elf onesie."

5. I don't know who's more upset..

Santa. Scaring kids then buying back their love with Christmas presents.

6. The gang's all here.

Okay, Okay. This HAS to be staged. There's no way that this was an 'accidental' awkward photo. Please tell me these people were TRYING to take an awkward Christmas card picture..

7. How is this kid not crying?

So this is why the kids are all afraid of Santa.

8. Your reindeer is a little small...

Also. The guy and the dog are both injured. So. There's that.

9. 'Tis the season to be...jolly...

Santa's sock game on fleek tho.

10. And last, but not least...

I almost couldn't see the baby.

Ah, Christmas photos. Thank you for being so painfully awkward. You make all or our holiday memories a little more weird, but a lot funnier. Please, whatever you do this holiday season, don't decide to make your entire family wear matching bedsheets.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
