After getting a little tease of Christmas break during the short time you're out for Thanksgiving, and surviving the finals you thought would kill you, the month-long break for Christmas is much needed. Let our friends Chandler, Monica, Ross, Rachel, Joey, and Phoebe describe the various aspects of being home for Christmas.

1. Eating the first homemade meal you've had in what feels like ages is the best thing you've ever eaten.

2. You lay down in your bed for the first time, not your tiny dorm bed, and know that at that moment everything is right in the world.

3. You begin to really appreciate your parents doing your laundry all those years, and especially now after you've had to pay for it and do it yourself for the past four months.

4. You wake up at noon, followed by hours of nothing, and after that, you're so tired from doing nothing that you take a long, wonderful nap.

5. Your parents ask you to get out of the house and do something and you just can't because you are so busy doing what is mentioned above.

6. You are baffled as to why anyone would rather go out and be social when you can lay on the couch all day, alternating between watching Netflix and eating ice cream.

7. All the days of continually doing nothing have caught up with you and you do whatever you can to stave off the boredom.

8. You get questions from countless family members like "Have you found a job yet?" and "Do you have a boyfriend?"

9. You realize how much you miss your friends, and after Christmas comes and goes, you eagerly start counting the days until you get to go back.

When you get back to school after the month in heaven, you realize how great you actually had it back at home.
