It’s that wonderful time of year! Time for decorations, baking, family time, Santa, and gift giving! Can’t you just feel the love?
Well sometimes the Christmas spirit is just a bit too much and we all feel the way the Grinch did BEFORE his heart grew three sizes bigger. Here are 11 times we have all related to the Grinch:
1. When you’re just not in the Christmas mood
Christmas music has TAKEN OVER. Every radio station, restaurant, store, and mall are overplaying all the holiday classics. Sometimes it’s just way too much. I mean come on, we can’t expect to be joyful and peaceful and happy all the time...
2. When you’ve hibernated in your room almost all of break
I mean who can resist a warm bed and Netflix?
3. When you have too much free time now
It’s finally Christmas break! But now you have so much free you don’t know what to do with it. Also, if you’re coming home from college, you finally have access to real food. If anyone questions your food intake, just tell them you’re preparing for hibernation.
4. When it’s way too cold outside
If the weather is as cold as your heart, it's a day to stay in.
5. When you find the one you want to spend the holidays with
Right when you’ve prepared yourself for the reactions of when your family asks if you’re STILL single, you find someone you’d actually like to bring home. But what if it’s too late? What if he’s not interested? Does he even know your name? You never asked Santa for these feels so he should just give you the whole thing right? RIGHT?
6. When you struggle to pick out the perfect Christmas outfit
You slipped on your brand new outfit and you are going to SLEIGH that Christmas party you’ve had planned for weeks. Then you take one look in the mirror and all of a sudden its a "Ho Ho No..."
7. When the emotions of the year hit you all at the same time
We all have those times (especially during finals) when the crazy year and the madness ensues so instead of doing the things we’re supposed to (like studying for finals) we end up wondering how we ended up where we ended up, why we feel the way we feel, and eventually end up drowning in feels like the Grinch..
8. When your crush says all they want for Christmas is for their crush to like them
Santa, baby, we both know I'd be the best gift he could ever receive...
9. When you realize it’s a few days before Christmas and you haven’t bought any gifts
Time to face the crowded malls with all the other procrastinators or pray to God if you order on Amazon they actually come in on time….
10. When you finally start to get excited about Christmas
When all the stress has finally somewhat melted away and you realize Christmas is actually here! The excitement starts to settle in and you begin to focus on the joyful part of the holiday season.
11. When the Christmas Spirit finally hits
It’s finally Christmas! All the magic and happiness and joy comes alive and the spirit begins to take over! Whether it’s just a bit, or maybe your heart grew three sizes today, you can’t help but feel the love.
