The Christmas season is finally upon us. In the world of DIY and Christmas-themed goodies, you can find ideas on Pinterest and in stores for canvases, Christmas cards, and apparel donned with beautiful Christmas song lyrics. From "It's the most wonderful time of the year…" to "Walking in a winter wonderland…" and "Merry and bright," are there any Christmas song lyrics that wouldn't work?

Yes. Yes there are.

27 or more to be exact. I'm actually leaving some off of this list that were just too much for this article. Here's some you probably shouldn't use for your crafts this year.

1. "I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus."

Potential marital infidelity, what a festive theme

2. "The weather outside is frightful."

("Let It Snow") A little different from "Walking in a winter wonderland…"

3. "Say, what's in this drink?"

("Baby, It's Cold Outside") Spiking beverages is a sure-fire way to end up on Santa's nice list, most definitely…

4. "Ding dong ding dong"

("Caroling Caroling") Those kinds of lyrics just give you chills

5. "Only a hippopotamus will do"

("I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas") Even context doesn't fully explain this one…

6. "Mommy and Daddy are mad"

("I'm Gettin' Nuttin' For Christmas") Merry Christmas to all.

7. "I met a man who lived in Tennessee"

("Home for the Holidays") How is this relevant to Baby Jesus…?

8. "Somebody snitched on me"

("I'm Gettin' Nuttin' For Christmas") Of all the things I enjoy during the holiday season, hearing about disobedient children is pretty far down the list.

9. "There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray"

("Sleigh Ride") Again, how is this relevant unless this birthday party is for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?

10. "Nine ladies dancing"

("The 12 Days Of Christmas") Those three words just so concisely capture the spirit of the season.

11. "Eight maids a'milking"

("The 12 Days Of Christmas") As do these.

12. "Well tonight thank God it's them instead of you"

("Do They Know It's Christmas?") WHOA whoa whoa, that's not insensitive at ALL, Band-Aid.

13. "He sees you when you're sleeping"

("Santa Claus Is Coming To Town") How comforting.

14. "It’s a world of dread and fear"

("Do They Know It's Christmas?") Thanks for reminding me

15. "How lovely are thy branches"

("O Christmas Tree") Does this count as idolatry?

16. "The cattle are lowing"

("Away in a Manger") You know how exams ask for the best possible choice? This is not it.

17. "You better not cry"

("Santa Claus Is Coming To Town") I'm most happy when I'm threatened into it.

18. "Scary ghost stories"

("It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year") I don't know how your family celebrates the holidays, but…

19. "You can say there's no such thing as Santa"

("Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer") Let's not put this one on the Christmas card this year…

20. "Hoofprints on her forehead"

("Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer") … or this one.

21. "Figgy pudding"

("We Wish You A Merry Christmas") Maybe it's the pumpkin pie of England, I don't know, but…

22. "I am a poor boy too, pa rum pa pum pum"

("The Little Drummer Boy") The anthem of college students everywhere.

23. "With a tail as big as a kite"

("Do You Hear What I Hear?") This sounds like some creative form of body positivity..

24. "A child, a child shivers in the cold"

("Do You Hear What I Hear?") Way to put the "joy" in "Joy to the World," Earl.

25. "Thumpity thump thump"

("Frosty The Snowman") Just casually put this on a canvas with no context.

26. "We'll have some fun before I melt away"

("Frosty The Snowman") Never too early to start teaching children about the fleetingness of life.

27. "She didn't see me creep"

("I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus") There are few occasions where this statement could lead to anything good.

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.
