It’s September which means Christmas decorations and rom-com advertisements will be going up soon. Here’s one you can add to your anticipatory “nice” list: Daenerys Targaryen and Nick Young will appear in a “holiday romance” together.
On Thursday, the Backstreet Boys came back from the dead. Not to be outdone, rival boy band 98 Degrees has announced that they’re going on tour. Just in time for summer, right? Not exactly.
On Mother’s Day, there’s nothing better than a heartfelt card to celebrate all the hard work our moms have done for us. And boy, there are a lot to choose from! There are cards to make her laugh, cards to make her cry, cards that trash her shitty husband for not doing chores, and cards that encourage her to drink…
Every day there seems to be a new weird holiday that nobody asked for except maybe restaurants that probably make a few more bucks off of “National Margarita Day.” And the minds behind this never-ending hell cycle of holidays (“Penguin Awareness Day,” “Be Kind to Lawyers Day”) are several people who actually make it a…
Former The Help co-stars Octavia Spencer and Jessica Chastain are teaming up for a new holiday comedy, Variety reports, which will be produced by Chastain’s company Freckle Films.
A desensitized blogger heart grew three sizes this day, upon watching this video of an Air Force member surprising his mom for Christmas. Memphis’s Channel 3 reports that Grant Jackson and his sister Brittany Pettis planned the reunion after he’d been away for two years in Japan, and their video unexpectedly went…
As I’ve gotten older, my favorite things about the holiday season (I celebrate Christmas) have evolved from receiving gifts and having time away from school to giving gifts and having time away from work to, presently, listening to Christmas music all goddamned day as a counter to all the hideous news popping up on my…
‘Tis the season for wearing brutally fugly sweaters intended to make you appear funny, charming, and filled with excessive holiday spirit.
If you stepped foot in a Target anytime after the first of October, you were likely innundated with Christmas trees, spangly Santas, singing snowmen and aggressive holiday lights—a stressful and confounding sight when global warming has insured that summer lasts until at least November. Even though an early Christmas…
Halloween is coming soon, but first let’s celebrate Christmas.
In the next two months, you will be forced to make the least important decision of the year, which is choosing a holiday party dress that’s equitably stylish, cool, cheap and perhaps professional.
Obviously, black-and-white photographs of old-fashioned Halloween costumes are creepy. Retro Christmas can get a bit skin-crawling, too, and there’s nothing worse than the early days of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. But Easter—surely Easter is nothing but fluffy bunnies and happy candy consumption, right?
So far, this presidency has been a complete Trumpsterfire...and it’s only February! So in the tradition of years past, I decided to create some anti-Valentines, this time exclusively for the Trump administration.
Apparently 4,000 of Finland’s reindeer meet their demise in traffic accidents every year. Given the relentlessly inappropriate nature of reality, it should come as no surprise that the rate of reindeer roadkill increases around Christmas time, when it gets dark early and becomes more difficult to spot the animals.
Around this time of year, we get treated to playlists filled with holiday hip-hop and R&B standards like Run-D.M.C.’s “Christmas in Hollis” and TLC’s “Sleigh Ride,” a perfect Christmas song. Otherwise, it’s boring holiday classics coming at you nonstop in the department store, at the pharmacy, on the radio. Before you…
As we draw closer to December 25, a disproportionate degree of American adults’ mental energy will be rerouted into determining and acquiring this year’s must-have toys for children. But the ceremonial bestowal of the Shopkins is a relatively recent development—how did it happen?
Tomorrow brings the 90th annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. But did you know this proud, family-friendly American tradition started out in a totally creepy and scary way?
Should you be blessed to have a Phaedra Parks as a friend, then you know exactly what it’s like to be constantly on the defense, constantly on emotional guard. This friend is often silent but deadly—a good listener, though—and a connoisseur of metaphors. When they speak, it’s usually to call upon Jesus, give helpful…
Labor Day is this Monday, and that means the hot, sticky summer of 2016 will soon come to an end. Celebrate the long weekend (if you’re lucky enough to have one) and the unofficial beginning of fall by doing something special!
Oh, did you think we’d make it through July the Fourth without one single Hamilton post? Never fear my, babies. For here are the Schuyler Sisters, in the middle of their Tony Awards performance, reminding you to work — whatever that may mean for you tonight (I hope it’s figurative).
