With the holidays right around the corner, everyone knows that Halloween to New Years is just about the best time of the year. The weather is cold, the hot cocoa is hot, and the sweaters are XXL. This is the time of giving. Too often we get caught up in the hustle and bustle of things and we forget what the holidays are really about. With this, I give you the 7 Deadly Sins: Christmas Edition.
1. Lust
Welcome to cuffing season my friends. It's a time of settling down with a "loved?" one or someone that can get you through the cold winter moments. Will you last until Valentine's Day? Probably not. But why not cuddle under a blanket for some Netflix and Chill until then.
2. Gluttony
We will feast, and we will feast again. Jeans will turn into yoga pants by Christmas Eve, and all the festivities include the most caloric food and drinks. A cup of eggnog for you turns into a downed bottle. Garlic bread turns into a whole loaf of bread. Calories don't count during the holidays though right?
3. Greed
Christmas lists turn into Christmas books. The lists are so long we could write a novel. The brokest season, while we are all patiently awaiting for more under the tree.
4. Sloth
It's not called break because you are supposed to be doing work. Grabbing a blanket or four and a cup of something warm on the couch is the only way to get through the month. Your mother may have asked you to do the laundry but you do enough at school, amiright?
5. Wrath
Family pressures are high, and your drunk uncle doesn't know when to shut up. Your family is probably offended by your crop top, or your political sweater. The arguments around the dinner table are ones to never forget.
6. Envy
Your bag probably wasn't as expensive as Kim Kardashian's Christmas gift from her family, but does it really matter? There will always be something better on sale December 26.
7. Pride
Similar to the rest of these, let Christmas be a time of happiness, not worrying whether you got the better present than your siblings, or who loves who more.
At the end of the day, be thankful we are not alive for Dante's Inferno, because I'd be seeing all the rest of you in Hell as well! Happy Holiday's everybody!
