'I was the only one who didn't receive a gift.'

These kids are going to need years of therapy

Hmm

Howdy, and hey, parents! I hope you're having a good post-holidays week with your kids. I'm sure there's lots of playing with toys and hanging around going on, which sounds splendid. Luckily for y'all, the difficult part of the holidays is over! Now, all you have to do is put up with your kids for the next week or so before they head back to school. Piece of cake , right? Even if your holidays didn't go exactly how you planned, they could always go worse. You could be that mom who filmed her to…

Greetings, internet friends. Hope the bizarre limbo between Christmas and New Year's Day is treating you well. For many of us, it feels like a blur. A calorie-laden, lazy, and hopefully comfortable blur. While it's a blur for me, too, it's like one percent as chaotic as the actual holidays we were celebrating a few days ago. My parents' home was filled with dogs - large dogs, barking dogs , and one of them was a puppy. Between the chaotic canines, and my family's love of talking over one anothe…

)Today, which is Tuesday, doesn't really feel like a Tuesday. Sure, the calendar insists that we're existing during the worst day of the week, but our bodies don't feel it. But this is normal during the holidays, especially during the week between Christmas and New Year's day . In fact, while doing our weekly duty of collecting Lord of the Rings memes for our Tolkien Tuesday gallery, we saw a meme that really sums it all up by comparing this murky limbo to whatever the hell Gandalf was up to wh…

As purveyors of entertainment media, we know it can be a hustle to churn out timely, holiday-related content around the end of the year. Finding content that has to do with Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, or even peoples' contempt for the holidays can be tough especially when we're working abbreviated schedules. It's only natural that some well-meaning people would manage to muck this up, and it seems that one television news channel has won 2022's award for “Best Seasonal Fail of the Year". Twit…

Happy Boxing Day, or, "Day of Fatness and Dehydration" as we like to call it. It was a pretty meh weekend, but as my mom says we're pretty lucky. While we stayed inside during the 6-degree cold snap in the Northeast, people a mere 50 miles away from us were without heat or power, and some even froze to death. So it's best to count our blessings. Fortunately (or unfortunately) for us counting our miniscule blessings doesn't take very much time, which leaves a pretty big void to fill with some so…

It's a miracle that you're reading this list. It has nothing to do with you, dear reader. It has to do with the fact that I have no concept of what day it is, I'm bloated from holiday feasting, and pretty sure I'm still fighting a 3 day hangover from trying to drink away the pain of being with family. The period between Christmas and New Years is famous for its murkiness. One day can feel like three. We melt into our couches, filled with the scraps of that turkey, ham, or (perhaps) a tofu roast…

I love going to the airport. I know I'm in the minority, but there's something so relaxing about going through security, finding my gate, getting a little snack, walking around the terminal, and finally getting on an airplane. I don't have any flying anxiety because if the plane crashes, there is nothing I can do about it. Of all the ways to die, death by flying machine is definitely in my top 3. Unfortunately, most people do not enjoy flying as much as I do, and I understand why! Airports are…

Who knew Christmas lights could be so controversial

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good meme

Never looking at it the same way again

Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, all the creatures were stirring, especially The Mouse TM . It's no secret that the holiday season is the craziest time of the year to go to Disney theme parks. School is out for the kids, and parents have PTO to burn before it expires at the end of the year. The best part of going to Disney for Christmas is escaping the winter vortexes of Northern and non-Floridian cities. The worst part? The lines: Everywhere you go, the people, the c…

It's nearly time

So thoughtful...
