Admit it: Christmas has changed. It used to be that Christmas was this big thing that you anticipated every single day following Thanksgiving. Now we’re coming off of finals and the only thing on our minds is sleep and home-cooked foods. What else has changed? Let’s take a look.
“Caroling”
Then: Going around the neighborhood singing songs to all the families
Now: Being forced to sing outdated songs instead of watching Netflix
“Santa”
Then: The greatest man on the planet that will bring you presents as long as you’re good
Now: Some old guy in the mall wearing red and definitely isn’t paid enough for this
“Cookies” 
Then: Delicious mouthfuls that literally taste like Christmas
Now: CARBS
“Snow”
Then: A fluffy, white powder that falls from the sky and makes Christmas perfect
Now: The bane of your existence as shoveling and cleaning off the car takes 45 minutes
“Presents” 
Then: New toys or games or anything that can be played with for hours
Now: Something you have to get for people who never want anything. Anything.
“Christmas Eve” 
Then: Waiting the excruitating 24 hours until the big day comes
Now: Buying everything you can since stores close and the 26th isn’t a great idea
“Movies” 
Then: A Charlie Brown Christmas everyday until it isn’t on for another year
Now: Seeing the same films from your childhood but seeing the innuendos this time
“Lights” 
Then: Bright bulbs that make the tree look pretty and your house even prettier
Now: Two hours of untangling and fixing that one bulb that blacks out the whole thing
“Eggnog” 
Then: A weird mixture of eggs, milk, nutmeg and sugar that strangely tastes good
Now: BOOOOOOOOOOOZZZZZEEEEEEEE
“Holidays” 
Then: Spending time with the ones you love
Now: Pretty much the same thing
Have a merry Christmas!
