Types of People During the Holidays
The Travel Source

1. The Forgetful One

This is the person who doesn’t realize that it’s the holiday season until the weekend before Christmas. Sometimes they think they have more time, other times they just aren’t paying attention, in the end they are caught completely unawares. You can usually find these people at Macy’s on Christmas Eve doing last minute present shopping.


2. The Classic Grinch

The Grinch is without a doubt one of the most distinguishable persons during the Holidays. Characteristically cynical and hateful, this is the type of person who swears their ears will bleed if they head Christmas music, no matter if it’s march 15th or December 25th they want absolutely nothing to do with anything affiliated with happy holidays or Christmas cheer. You can most frequently find these people attempting to find rocks to live under for the Holiday season.


3. The Nut Job

Also known as “The Overly Enthusiastic Christmas Goer” or “Christmas Crazie”. This is the type of person who starts planning for the holidays 3 weeks into January, has collectable Santa ceramics, elaborate light decorations, and an endless enthusiasm to sing Christmas carols. This person specializes in grating on the Grinch’s nerves, and can often be found spreading an unnecessary amount Christmas cheer.


4. The Nutcracker

This is the type of person who will break the fingers of the first person to try to turn on Christmas music in November. This individual strongly believes that Christmas should stick to its own month where it belongs, and they hold no tolerance for holiday nuts stepping out of line. They can sometimes be found unplugging radios or stealing candy canes from unsuspecting children.


5. Politically Correct Samaritan

This is the person who attempts the practically impossible task of not offending anyone during the Holidays. They try to be inclusive and innocuous to avoid offense, but in the process they end up upsetting people anyway. These individuals can frequently be found swapping “Merry Christmas” signs with “Happy Holidays” often without owner consent.


6. The Spectator

This person has no particular interest or even disinterest in the holiday season. This is the person who sits back, bag of popcorn in hand, and watches the brawls unfold between nut jobs and grinches. They can often be found recording the epic fights on their iPhone and eating popcorn.

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.
