In previous generations, men would go to war to protect their families and *I* make my toast out of the heels of any bread we buy because my wife doesn't like them so in many ways that's the same.

it is your DUTY as a parent to be basic and cringe. if your child says "6-7" and you do not say, loud enough for their friends to hear, "8-9?", causing profound silence and intense discomfort, you are neglecting your responsibilities. being cool is for kids. your days of being laughed WITH are over

tomorrow's not real it can't hurt us

A message for you all to carry through the year

A desperate attempt at relevance, a yellow emoji face rendered with sweat or dew on, impact-font text says “Imagine 6 onions” at the top of the image, then at the bottom “Heck, imagine 7”

Is this enough for you people?

The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.

A funny thing about Jersey Italian and suburban Chicago Italian is that our families come from mostly the same places in Italy, so we sound the same. I'll share this explanation before I head to da Jewel's.

log with painting of a face, it has a nose and two legs and is covered with a blanket

wikipedia excerpt: The form of the Tió de Nadal found in many Catalan homes during the holiday season is a hollow log about 30 cm (12 in) long. Recently, the Tió has come to stand up on two or four stick legs with a broad smiling face painted on its higher end, enhanced by a red sock hat (a miniature of the traditional barretina) and often a three-dimensional nose. Those accessories have been added only in recent times, altering the more traditional and rough natural appearance of a piece of wood. Beginning with the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (December 8), one gives the tió a little bit to "eat" every night and usually covers him with a blanket so that he will not be cold. The story goes that in the days preceding Christmas, children must take good care of the log, keeping it warm and feeding it, so that it will defecate presents on Christmas Day or Eve. [4]
