I was a greedy little kid, always demanding the latest Star Wars toys and asking for my favorite superhero action figures. My sister was actually quite jealous because as the youngest kid, I seemed to get everything I wanted.
December 10, 2012 Whether you’re preparing for final exams, avoiding a trampling at the mall or a gearing up for an extended visit from the in-laws, the month of December can be grueling. Sure, there’s the holiday spirit or whatever, but somehow this time of year isn’t as fun as when you were a kid, when your biggest worries were cutting snowflakes out of construction paper and remembering to not lick telephone poles.
When you hear a story about a landlord, it's usually an angry tale concerning neglect or some kind of funny business with a security deposit. Instead, this holiday season we present a tale that will make any heart grow three sizes.
It was like old times as Jimmy Fallon could barely contain his laughter when Tracy Morgan provided commentary to "Twas the Night Before Christmas' on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. The bit was highlighted by Morgan complaining to Fallon about kids asking for sugarplums
Aside from that time when a cousin, without a trace of irony, sent a family Christmas card that was a picture of all the kids dressed up in hunting camo holding rifles, these are the best family Christmas cards ever. They were made by Redditor TPThatsMe, and if you go to the post on Imgur, you can also watch a video for how each of the photos came into being.
A sure way to never get invited back to holiday festivities is buying all the wee ones toys that make noise, make a mess or may maim them. Plus, your annoying gift idea may backfire when you're asked to babysit (trust me, I'm an aunt, and I've learned this lesson the hard way). But, should you decide to purchase one of these toys anyways, don't forget the most important part -- not batteries, but Advil!
John Storm is a lucky man. Most people who move into a new neighborhood and promptly set up an insane Christmas light show set to 'Gangnam Style' would not be very popular. His neighbors, however, think it's kind of impressive to meet a real-life Clark Griswold. We think it's kind of impressive that his hobby requires him to use a dongle. That's sincerely Gangnam Style.
For me, the first 11 months of the year are merely a prelude to the Christmas season, but I get that not everyone shares my jones for Yuletide. What’s great about the wide and wonderful world of holiday films (which I explore in my book 'Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas') is that for every 'Miracle on 34th Street' and 'It’s a Wonderful Life,' there are plenty of flicks out there for all the Grinches who can’t wait for the plastic Santa and the inflatable snowmen to go back into the attic.
Finally a Christmas song that isn't veiled in the disillusionment of the holiday season. While some will say that these Irish rockers have abandoned their Celtic punk roots by releasing a Christmas song on their upcoming CD, 'Signed and Sealed in Blood', we can't help but find it refreshing in its honesty.
Bah, humbug! A Canadian Grinch ruined the annual holiday parade for dozens of children last Saturday. The intoxicated 24-year-old man, who hailed from Kingston, was arrested after police received a complaint. Parents informed authorities that this jerk ruined Christmas for their youngsters by walking up and down the parade lines and telling them that Santa Claus doesn't exist.
Thanksgiving is over, and now it's full speed ahead into the Christmas season, which includes letting Santa know what is on your wishlist. But some little ones don't seem to enjoy those visits with jolly St. Nick that much. Luckily, the photos are absolutely hilarious!
