I love Christmas foods, but sometimes they are just gross.

Holiday Foods Rated from Worst to Best

In This Article:

Every year, I eat with my family on Christmas Eve. For the most part, all the food my relatives bring is really good, but there's always that one weird thing someone brings that doesn't get touched. Here's a list of the best and worst foods during the holiday season.

1. Green Jello Casserole

I think this is just a family dish, so you probably have never heard of it. If you have, then I'm sorry. To enlighten anyone who doesn't know what this interesting food is, it's green Jello with walnuts, marshmallows, celery (it gets weirder), and mayonnaise. Yes, it's Jello with mayonnaise in it. For some reason my grandmother, mother, and aunt all love this disgusting green glop, but nobody else ever eats it.

2. Fruit Cake

I, like most people, have never actually had fruit cake, but I have heard it's disgusting.

3. Pistachio Pie

I have no idea what this is, but my roommate says that she despises it. She says it's basically just pie with cream cheese, Cool Whip, and graham cracker crust. I think I am going to take her word on this and just run the other direction if I ever see this.

Turkey

I'm not a huge fan of turkey, but I will tolerate it. If there's cranberry sauce available, it's a little more tolerable, but still not my first choice.

Crescent Rolls

Now we are getting into the good stuff. Crescent rolls never stay around long at my family get-togethers, or anywhere for that matter. I think they are a staple for any big family meals.

Sweet Potato Casserole

This is something I look forward to every holiday season. I love making this with my mom and enjoying it afterward. For the record, the kind with the pecans and brown sugar on top is the best. The kind with marshmallows is a hard 3 on this list.

Pineapple Cheese Casserole

Sounds weird, but trust me on this one. Pineapples, Ritz crackers, cheese, and a ton of butter. It's delicious. It's like crack, actually. Once you get one serving, you don't stop until it's all gone.

Ham

Ham is so much better than turkey. This only applies to hot ham, though. Cold ham is just sinister. My favorite kind it the Honey Baked ham with the crunchy glaze all over it. Oh my gosh I'm so excited for it this year.

Everyone has their opinions, but just know mine are right, especially this list. Also, take my advice on the green jello stuff; it's disgusting.

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.
