This time of year is usually a time for comfort, rejoice and relaxation with friends and loved ones — but not for me. The holidays have proven time and time again to be the most traumatizing weeks of my life. But like a phoenix, I rise from the ashes with lessons of wisdom that I now can share with you:
1. Don't give your heart away at Christmas because they'll give it away the very next day.
2. Abstain from wrapping the gifts you buy- let the people in the mall handle it. The paper cuts aren't worth it.
3. Stop hoping your rich grandmother will get ran over by a reindeer- you'll just be disappointed and her time will eventually come.
4. Don't let your ears bleed listening to the mind numbing Christmas music on your local radio station. Save your ears and your sanity with this Tolerable Christmas Songs playlist on Spotify.
