17 Things That You Can't Have Christmas Without

1. A weird uncle that everyone loves.

Sometimes, uncles can be pretty weird, but we love them anyways. Here is a shot that describes the weirdness better than words ever can.

2. Presents!!!

Being covered in presents is an amazing feeling at Christmas, but what's much better is giving them. Seeing this many presents for one of the sweetest ladies in the world was quite a fun experience.

3. Grandmas.

What would Christmas be without grandparents? My grandparents make Christmas much more enjoyable, and much funnier.

4. Christmas Dinner!! (or Lunch in this case..)

There are many Christmas traditions around the world, but a fairly common one is Christmas Dinner. In this certain picture, some people were standing around waiting to open presents. (They may have been more excited than the kids were.)

5. Crazy Cousins

Cousins are very fun to be around, and can be your best friends. In this certain picture, my 9 year old cousin wanted to dress up like his grandpa, so he took a tie, a shirt, and a pillow, then the magic happened.


6. Junk Foods for Dinner

There are so many different Christmas foods, but on Christmas Eve this year, my family ate so many appetizers. They were absolutely delicious, but they were all so bad for us.

7. The Mom

The mom may, or may not actually have children. The mom takes care of what seems like everything. She does the dishes, she takes care of the kids, she breaks up arguments, and she cooks and cleans before and after the meal.


8. The Peeker

Everyone has the peeker in their family, whether they know it or not. In this instance, it was my little cousin. Slyly trying to find out what the present is before he opens it. As you can imagine, The Mom was not having this behavior.

9. SANTA!!!!

Christmas wouldn't be complete without Santa! Granted this Santa is female and beardless (the two are not mutually exclusive), Santa is still at this Christmas celebration.

10. Food Comas

After eating so much food, how can someone not fall into a food coma? In this case, Santa has fallen under while sitting in The Mom's lap (even though Santa is as big as Mom is.)

11. Decorations!

Christmas decorations are almost as important as the people to celebrate with! The decorations don't have to be grand or crazy, just a few things showing spirit will work. See here, it's simple and cute.

12. Funny Videos

Everyone is watching this video, and everyone is laughing except the girl in the middle, but that's because someone is sitting on her.

13. The Clothes

Every year at Christmas, my family gets clothes from our aunt. The monogram just adds to it's appeal for this certain teen.


14. Did I mention naps?

Naps. That is all the caption needed for this picture.

15. A Tree

No matter how big or how small, a tree is a Christmas must. This one is a little tabletop tree, but the room around it is well used with the number of presents surrounding it.


16. The Technology

The post-lunch, pre-present dip in activity is filled with computers and phones to keep our minds active. This helps prevent food comas.

17. That One Gift

What would Christmas be without getting that one gift that makes you make this face? After wrapping, boxes, and more wrapping, the gift at the end was well worth the struggle getting to the present. Give a gift that makes the recipient make this face.

I hope y'all had as good of a Christmas as I did. Now on to the New Year!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:
