holidays

Don't you just love when the family gets together? After all the time apart, there's so much to catch up on, and so much love to go around. Or judgment. Maybe a little bit of both. Depending on the relative in question, you're either really hyped to see them or dreading being in the same room as them.

This holiday season is no different. It's time to refresh your memories when it comes to the best and worst relatives at every holiday dinner. We know it's a hard pill to swallow, but these people are integral to the reality of your life. You didn't choose 'em, but you're stuck with 'em for every holiday dinner till the end of time. Cheezcake babes, time to rip off the bandaid, get through it together, and celebrate our survival with hot toddies afterward!

Whether sexual tension has been brewing between colleagues all year or the spiked punched got people feeling a little frisky and in the mood for some sexy holiday party hookups. But what good are these sexy holiday party hookup stories if we don't share them with the world? We teamed up with The Single Society to share the most scandalous office party experiences that left these women feeling naughty AND nice.

Americans take many things very seriously, much to the rest of the world's confusion, including but not limited to portion sizes, the American flag, and Halloween. Everywhere else, Halloween lasts one day, people dress up and may or may not go trick-or-treating, and that's about it. But in America, Halloween lasts a month, everything is pumpkin-flavored, and no one understands why. These tweets articulate the rest of the world's confusion with America's go-big-or-go-home attitude when it comes to the spookiest day in the calendar.

The holidays may be over, but that doesn't mean it's too early to start planning your 2020 festivities. And who better to educate you on putting together the picture-perfect, instagram-worthy holiday than the top social media influencers?

We scoured the depths of Pinterest and Instagram for the best beauty, fashion, cooking and decorative bloggers out there, but none of them came close to good enough. And since you deserve the best of the best, we had no choice but to recruit our very own influencers. So go forth and educate yourselves, and start prepping for this year's holidays now. Because if your holiday isn't Instagram worthy, Christmas might as well be cancelled. 

The holidays ain't over yet! Today may be Christmas, but it's also the 4th night of Hannukah and we're celebrating the only way we know how -- with a tweet dump!

And jelly donuts. Lots and lots of jelly donuts. 

Happy Holidays, everyone! 

Asking for a friend, whose idea was it to place a Santa in every mall?

In a strange holiday tradition, parents will stand in line, at the mall, and pay money to place their children on a strangers lap for an awkward photo. 

So naturally, we needed to round up all the tweets about the experience: 

This woman is making this holiday season (and past ones) special by leaving out snacks for any and all carrier drivers! In a now viral video shared on Facebook, you can see just how happy the Amazon delivery guy is to see those snacks left especially for him! 

And if this isn't what the holiday season is about then we just don't know what is. 

Kathy Ouma, what a lovely and simple idea to help make people's day -- we hope this idea will inspire others (and it did us) and become the new normal! 

Twitter users shared their response to the trending hashtag #RuinADinnerInOnePhrase, and here are 16 of the best ones. 

These families get some good laughs every year. 

Thanksgiving- bringing out the best in family dysfunction since 1863

Here are the Christmas memes that are so relatable we didn't know whether to laugh or cry. 

Black Friday was all fun and games, but now it's time for the underdog! Cyber Monday is fairly new but, we definitely approve! Now, every Black Friday the full on shopping for the holiday begins. But, what about you? Have you done any shopping for yourself?!

This year, Twitter is replacing something in famous movie's titles with something seasonal and It's Freaking Hilarious.
