This new Christmas single from John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, which is supposed to be the sequel (song-quel?) to the 'Grease' classic 'You're the One That I Want,' has created a bit of a moral dilemma. Is it wrong to think something is totally worthless, even if it's for charity? Because this is just awful.
When Chris Burd was 13-years-old he went to the mall in Maplewood, Minn during Christmas time. He was with his three-year-old sister, and to appease her he also sat on the lap of the mall's Santa Claus and asked for gifts.
Fast forward 13 years. Chris had recently become engaged when he got a call from his mother who tells him she had made an interesting discovery while going through a batch of old pictures.
Even though we're huge fans of Christmas, the holiday season can be super stressful at times. This is particularly true when it comes to buying presents. Most people are difficult to shop for, which puts tons of pressure on us to try and decode their present preference. Will our friend like that potpourri centerpiece we're re-gifting from grandma? Probably not. What about the awful Christmas sweater in the back of our closet that still has the tag on it? We'll give that a big N-O.
As the Holidays get closer, decorations are popping up everywhere we look. In a little town in Indiana, though, it's Christmas all year long, and it's a little weird.
Got a guy on your Christmas list who you need to impress? Maybe your boss, her dad, or your grandfather who keeps telling you how back in his day men didn't wear skinny jeans or use moisturizer? You can relax now, we've found it: get them a personalized bottle of Knob Creek bourbon.
With all the time we spend on Pinterest, it's no wonder we've come across so much quirky and awesome stuff. Half our holiday gift and decorating ideas come from the site alone! Want to check out Disney/Star Wars mash-up art or a cheeseburger dress? They've got you covered. Not surprisingly, the site also has a whole slew of questionable holiday products you can pin and repin, like a pickle ornament or a creepy spandex reindeer costume.
December 7, 2012 Every year I love reading, "The Top Gifts a Women Wants", to see if I agree with them. For the most part I agree with this year's list with the exception of one item. Number three on the list is a pet. Really? Maybe I am wrong but, lats time I checked no women wants a surprise pet. Right?
What's worse than a news anchor blabbing on live TV that Santa isn't real? How about a Texas kindergarten teacher revealing the terrible truth about Saint Nick to her entire class of five-year-olds? Yep, that actually happened.
December 6, 2012 Christmas gifts can be tricky. Do you have to get every co-worker a gift? Do you need to get your neighbors, babysitters, hair styles, mail carriers, etc. a gift? According to PR Newswire these aren't even the hardest people to shop for. The second-hardest person to shop for is someone you've just started dating.
December 5, 2012 I love gift cards. It's no secret that certain gift cards are better than others. PR Newswire gathered some information from a gift-card exchange site called GiftCardRescue.com. People were asked what cards they wanted most as holiday gifts. And according to their survey, McDonald's came in THIRD. Here are the 10 most-popular gift cards for this holiday season:
1.) Walmart.
2.) Target.
3.) McDonald's.
Ghastly little children and zombie corpses in elevators aren't the only things petrifying people around the world this holiday season. It looks like even Frosty himself is getting in on the act to wish us all a very happy (and spooky) holiday.
Matthew Vito, who is 17, just had his wish granted last Thursday (11/29) thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and Glanbia. He was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia almost two years ago.
