If you have to work during the holidays, it can be an absolute nightmare. It's busy, it's crowded, and people can get really mean. All you want is to be home with your family and enjoying the holiday. To all my fellow holiday retail peeps, the craziness is almost over, and we'll get through this. To cheer you up, here's twenty Spongebob gifs that perfectly describe the "interesting" experience that is working during the holidays.

1. When your manager explains how busy the holidays will be...as if your experienced self doesn't know.

2. When there are several holiday displays all over the store...and you don't even know where they are. 

Giphy

3. When you're asked to work overtime, but you really need the money...

Giphy

4. ...Or when you don't need the overtime and you hope someone else volunteers. 

Giphy

5. When your boss is actually very appreciative of your hard work. 

Giphy

6. When you actually get to leave early on Christmas Eve. 

Giphy

7. Or when your boss actually lets you have off on Christmas Eve. 

Giphy

8. When your boss asks "Who wants to work the day after Christmas?" 

Giphy

9. Then there's the Christmas-loving coworkers who try to shower the holiday spirit onto the Scrooges. 

Giphy

10. But those extra holiday hours are pretty nice, too. 

Giphy

11. When a customer asks for a product you ran out of because your manager never ordered it. 

Giphy

12. Only for the customer to be furious with you even though it's not your fault. 

Giphy

13. When your manager asks you to something...while you're in the middle of doing something. 

Giphy

14. When customers are being annoyingly indecisive. 

Giphy

15. The attitude you have when you have to deal with the last-minute Christmas Eve rush. 

Giphy

16. When your coworker gives you one of those awesome holiday treat bags. 

Giphy

17. When a customer asks for twenty party platters to be picked up the next morning. 

Giphy

18. When customers complain about how "expensive" the products are...even after you tell them you're not in control of pricing. 

Giphy

19. When a customer is messing up the perfect display you worked so hard on.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.

Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows.
