Take A Moment This December to Appreciate Heat Miser & Snow Miser

There are lots of articles on the World Wide Web this December listing out holiday classics like "Elf," "Miracle on 34th Street," & "Eloise at Christmastime." These articles make you wish you had infinite free time so that you could lounge in your cozy home and watch Christmas movies all month long. But they do not improve one's acute appreciation of any specific elements in the films. Let me bring to your attention one of the absolute wildest duos in holiday movie history: Snow Miser and Heat Miser, straight outta "The Year Without a Santa Claus." They are everything.

They are best frenemies for eternal life.

If you have a rival or a friend, that's cool, but you must feel really lame by comparison when you watch of this pair of antiheroes. Because there's no way that you and your rival have squared up atop literal clouds and prepared for epic battle. But Heat Miser and Snow Miser have. And I happen to seriously doubt that you and your friend have ever gotten Santa's attention. Well, Heat Miser and Snow Miser have demanded it.

They live in exquisite ***aesthetic*** palaces.

Please appreciate the stop-motion splendor.

They have incredible powers.

MAGIC. They are lords of the elements.

They have henchmen modeled after their likenesses.

No one can explain this, and no one needs to explain it, either. I'm fine without an explanation as long as I can meditate upon its weirdness, and appreciate it.

They have access to the best technology.

Skype in the 1970s? Ladies and gentlemen, "Star Trek" isn't the only program that predicted future technological advances.

Weaker beings crawl to their doorstep, begging for aid.


"Please help us, overlords of elemental powers!" That's probably something that Heat Miser and Snow Miser get a lot.

They have the least relevance to Christmas, but their iconic supremacy surpasses anything else in this film.

There is a spin-off special called "A Miser Brothers' Christmas" that aired in 2008. The spin-off isn't about Santa. It isn't about the dumb kid and his town where it doesn't usually snow (I really had to struggle to remember anything about that kid to include it in this article). It's about Heat Miser and Snow Miser, because they are at least seventy times more iconic than anything else that came out of "The Year Without A Santa Claus!"

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.
