17 Things That You Can't Have Christmas Without
Kaleigh Hayner

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!!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
