Someone on r/antiwork asked American redditors how they cope and “stay sane” with so few holidays and PTO. The comment section rung with a resounding, “we don't.” Sadly, America is way behind when it comes to taking care of its workforce, and it's making us feel straight up crazy. Sometimes it feels like the ones running things don't care if we're literally dying—as long as we get to work on time! Did you know that American workers aren't entitled to any paid holiday at all? That's pretty damn…

Stereotypes about husbands and wives aren't always true, but they exist for a reason. And one couple's quarrel over a cookie-baking Christmas tradition could definitely be used to prove the validity of certain stereotypes about men and women. u/wirnei339oe3jrj left it up to r/AmItheAsshole to decide whether or not he was in the wrong for “upstaging” his wife by being a more efficient cookie-baker. Though most voted that OP was technically “NTA,” many sympathized with OP's wife on an emotional l…

Don't you EVER let anybody make you think you only deserve one combo-present for your b-day and the holidays.

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…

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…

Who knew Christmas lights could be so controversial

Ooooooh baby, it's the holiday season and the kids are home and all yours. It's a beautiful family time kind of holiday, but also, you have to do SO much for the kids. You don't have to, but you're a parent, so you want to do everything you can to make the holidays as special as possible for your kids. They might not appreciate it now, in fact, they definitely don't because the big guy in red (Santa) gets all the credit, but they'll appreciate it once they're older. In fact, from all of us here…

All I want for Christmas is a dang break already.

The only gift I can afford is friendship

Some people are one bad day away from wearing a Santa suit under all of their clothes to comfort themselves

Is anyone else getting completely obliterated by the stress of the holiday season? I just looked at my bank account and I'm quaking in my boots. How is it that I've made certain to remain within my gift-giving budget and yet I'm dead broke? I think next year I'm just going to bake everyone cookies and send them via Fed-Ex so that I can stay home and enjoy the holidays by myself, like a proper Scrooge . Anyway. The world doesn't stop for my stress, and you know what? That's a good thing. The hol…

Is everyone thinking the same thing?

Happy Hanukkah!

Giving people gifts can be one of the more challenging aspects of the holiday season. Especially when you're dating someone who isn't straightforward about the presents they would actually like to receive. The people in my life who I struggle to buy gifts for are my parents and my boyfriend. My parents simply have everything they could ever want and have abandoned the quirky interests of their past (like Mexican dioramas) for a more quaint and pastoral lifestyle in their new home of Vermont. My…
