If there's anything I've learned from college, it's that everyone's high school had the same type of people in it. There are only so many types of high school kids, and there are only so many Christmas songs, so there must be some overlap, right?
All I want for Christmas is You: The “popular” girl
Everyone knows this girl. She’s not popular in the stereotypical “Mean Girls” way, she’s genuinely a nice person, and everyone actually likes her.
The Grinch: The angsty kid
Wouldn’t touch it with a nine and a half foot pole? Come on. That’s a little dramatic, don’t you think? This is the kid that probably writes poetry about how awful his parents are because they wouldn’t let him go to a rock concert in a bar when he was 15.
Baby It’s Cold Outside: The “where’s my hug” guy
“I really can’t stay” means “I really can’t stay”, my dude! This guy asks every girl for a hug, and every girl that hugs him kind of wants to shower afterwards. Just let her go home! She really can’t stay!
Cold December Night (Michael Buble): The guy that sings to every girl loves
I’ll definitely fall in love with this guy on a Cold December Night. He’s the one who spends his free periods alone in the choir room playing piano, to the dismay of the girls that are mildly in love with him. The whole auditorium gets chills during his solo at the winter choir concert.
Run Rudolph Run: The guy that calls the gym “home”
In high school, he would post pics of himself during gym class with the caption “back on the grind”. He probably drank protein shakes during school. None of his t-shirts have sleeves because he cut them off so that they could better showcase his biceps. There’s a 200% chance that he’ll join a frat in college.
Little Drummer Boy: The weird band kid
This kid probably carries his instrument around throughout the entire school day, and definitely got in an argument with you that one time because you said that marching band isn’t a sport. You want to like him because he’s so passionate about music, except that that passion has made him super condescending about all types of music, making him absolutely insufferable.
Little Drummer Boy (Pentatonix Version): The cool band kid
This is the band kid you actually have a huge friend crush on! Similar to the guy that sings, he spends most of his time in the music wing of your school. He can play Kanye on his band instrument, which is like, so cool. He’s probably going to go to a super cool college for music and be wildly successful in the music industry.
Feliz Navidad (Kacey Musgraves Version): The girl that thinks Cancun is exotic
This girl has an extremely limited world view. When someone asks if she speaks another language besides English, she responds with “Yeah, Spanish!” despite the fact that she’s currently getting a C- in her Spanish 2 class.
Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer: The guy that was always the loudest person in class
He literally never stopped screaming during the four years of high school. Even the nicest teachers eventually started being mean to him because they were SO over it. You probably know a weird amount of details about this guy’s life, because he was constantly telling everyone his life story.
We Need a little Christmas (Glee Cast Version): The musical theatre girl
This song is so extra, and so is this girl. She’s super nice to you as long as you don’t try to take her dream role. She knows basically everything about Broadway and can make obscure musical references at the drop of a hat. Even though she can be annoying, you still probably have the song on your iPod.
