Holiday season is personally my favorite time of the year. However, I know it can be a comically stressful and random time. The holiday season is for family, food, and faith. It is a time to reconnect and let loose. However, the holiday season can have some pretty funny and common moments that "New Girl" relates to just all too well.
When the fun cousin shows up to the party.
There is always that one cousin or family member that gets the party started. Or maybe you have more than one in your family. All you know is that it really starts pumping when they walk through the door. They get everyone up and moving. They talk about the funniest and most random things and you love them.
When your cheeks hurt from taking so many holiday pictures.
The holiday season seems to be bombarded with pictures. Between parties with friends and events with families, it seems like you are always in front of the camera. After a while, you can't really feel your face, but you should embrace it because these are the memories you will want to look back on. Wear that ugly Christmas sweater with pride and show off your jolly face.
When they ask you why you're late to everything.
Well, often times we have two or more events at the same time. Other times it is just who we are as a person. We tried our best to get here, but it just didn't happen. Just sign us up to bring dessert because it is a 50/50 chance that we will make it in time for the main course.
When you end up at the back of the food line.
What if there are no mash potatoes left? It might just be the end of the world. Okay so maybe that was a little dramatic, but come on people we are hungry.
When someone is not in the Christmas Spirit.
There are always those people who refuse to participate in the joy of Christmas. Sometimes you just have to sing a little louder to these people or throw more glitter on them. Okay, so maybe don't actually do that but try your best to spread the Christmas cheer.
Trying to pick out gifts for everybody.
I don't know about you but I have major gift anxiety. I feel so much pressure when picking out gifts for other people. I feel like it is a test to see how much I really know and understand that person. I just want everyone to genuinely like what I get them and that is very difficult.
When someone steals your dirty Santa gift from you.
Okay, but I had it first and it was really rude of you aunt Becky to steal these fuzzy socks from me. I'll remember that. Just kidding, but for real you all do not play nice!
When you get stuck at the kid's table.
I am an adult. Sure I still call my mom for a doctor's appointment but I deserve intellectual conversation. Who am I kidding? The kids' table is actually pretty entertaining.
Despite everything, it is a whole lot of awesome-ness.
It's the best time of the year. It's as simple as that.
