Millennials Are Killing Christmas

Experts Baffled

In a shocking upset to stockholders everywhere, the Christmas season hasn't wrought the usual scale of Yule Tide profits.

The problem?

Millennials

While experts are still unclear as to the reason why millennials aren't spending their bottom dollar on imported garbage by the usual droves, the current theory is that Mexico is to blame. Thanks to the new spike in avocado prices, millennials are buttering their toast with currency they could be spending on the new $1,000 YPhone.

Santa is reporting record demand increases thanks to the millennial generation relying more on Mr. Clause's hand outs than on their own dime. Reports of casualties within Santa's workshops due to the 55-65 hour work weeks and workload increase have been higher than usual, leading to labor shortages.

MallWort released a statement this past week stating they "have no idea" why more people aren't consuming their products "the way they had in the late 80's and early 90's" the flabbergasted spokesperson said. "How am I to afford to decorate all three of my homes this Christmas if we can't cover our quarterly bonus?".

Shortly after his touching personal statement, the hashtag #SaveChristmas went viral on Bitter, and a GoFundWe raised $200,000 to cover the cost of the missing Christmas decorations.

Adding insult to injury, Millennials are now demanding something they call a "Living Wage" arguing that their refusal to overspend on Christmas directly correlates to their wages in some way.

Economic experts have found no correlation between their wages and their boycott of Christmas thus far.

Ceo's of major corporations seem desperate to appease the masses, and are thus mass producing participation trophies in an effort to persuade them to continue shopping.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
