Ho, ho, I hate you.

The holiday season is one of giving joy, hope, cheer, and your money to people who sometimes don't deserve it. Whether it's from an unfortunate draw from the Secret Santa hat or a certain relative in your family, at some point everyone has to buy a gift for "that person." Here are seven things to buy for that one person you just can't stand this year.

1. A kudzu plant

Oh, but not just any old plant. From the outside, the kudzu plant looks innocent and sweet, but little does the person receiving this plant know that it is actually wildly invasive and will aggressively take over their garden (and maybe their house). Encourage them to hang the vine in a nice plant hanger on their porch or in a cute pot by their garden, then just wait.

2. Toilet paper

The look of confusion on their face may tempt you to burst out laughing, but don't. Simply say it's a metaphor. Do not tell them it's because they're a crappy person. That's for you to know and for them to find out.

3. An empty box of Oreos (or any treat)


Everyone knows the frustration of going into the pantry to find that someone but the box of your favorite treats back on the shelf EMPTY. This holiday season, capture that moment of hatred in a thoughtful gift. If you really want to mess with them, fill the box with rolls of coins or something that makes the box seem full.

4. A box/envelope of glitter


It's festive, it's fun, and it's a f**cking mess. Just imagine the rigorous vacuuming required when the glitter explodes everywhere.

5. Hillary Clinton's book for the Republican...


What's better than the gift of a quality, liberal-leaning explanation of that nightmare of an election for that special someone in your life that would rather burn themselves alive than touch something Secretary Clinton wrote?

6. ...and a "Make America Great Again" hat for the Democrat

You can always play this one off as a joke, but you may not be able to get a word through the blood-curdling scream that will erupt out of said Democrat upon opening it.

7. Coal

The classic "you've been so naughty this year that I got you a limited natural resource" never gets old. Plus, it will remind them of their childhood when their parents threatened coal for Christmas.

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.
