People have been blown away by the actual purpose of a nutcracker…
Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year…
The holiday season has officially begun, and we couldn’t be merrier.
From stores adorned with Christmas lights, to Starbucks bringing out their Gingerbread Lattes…
Life couldn’t get much better.
The tree…
You simply can’t have Christmas without the tree… I mean where is good old Saint Nick going to put the presents otherwise?
There’s something nostalgic about the warm glow of the lights and the twinkle of the ornaments that brings people together.
And this has been the case for generations!
Then there’s the possibility of snow…
I think we’ve all dreamt of a white Christmas once in our lives, and when we get that fresh blanket of snow on the big day, it’s even more idyllic.
With snow comes Snowmen…
And no matter what age you are, there’s something pretty exciting about going out and building your first Snowman of Christmas.
Holiday vacation…
Whether you’ve got time off from work, or you’re headed home from school for the holidays, there’s nothing better than getting that much-needed time away.
Family…
Christmas is a time to recharge and spend quality time with loved ones, whether that’s friends or family, or even just your neighbors, it’s the best time to come together.
Hot drinks…
Hot chocolate, mulled wine, gingerbread lattes, no matter what your drink of choice is, as long as it’s hot, it encapsulates that cozy Christmas feeling.
Parties…
Love them or hate them, Christmas parties are a huge tradition and the best way to get to know your co-workers and spread the holiday cheer.
Sales…
Everyone loves a bargain, and with Christmas being one of the most expensive times of the year, the Christmas sales are one of the best times to bag one.
Giving presents…
Although receiving presents is definitely top of the list during Christmas, it’s also important to give during this time of year, and remember what the whole holiday is all about.
Ice Skating…
Whether it’s an indoor or outdoor rink, there’s something incredibly Christmassy about skating during the holidays.
Staying in and getting cozy by the fire…
The holiday season is the best excuse to relax and de-stress, and what better way to do that than putting your feet up and watching your favorite show with logs burning in the background?
This brings us to the movies…
It wouldn’t be Christmas without the classic Christmas movies.
We’ve had a whole range of movies that have become household staples this time of year…
Some of the classics include Elf, It’s a Wonderful Life, The Grinch, and Miracle on 34th Street.
But Christmas can also be a time of contention.
Spending time with extended family can bring about a whole host of issues and feuds.
And one fierce debate has recently been sparked about Christmas.
Did you know what a nutcracker is used for?
“‘You’re telling me that nutcrackers can actually crack nuts?’ -Me, Thanksgiving 2022,” one person tweeted.
“Nutcrackers are actually used to crack nuts… I was today years old,” another admitted.
“NUTCRACKERS ACTUALLY CRACK NUTS?! WTF SINCE WHEN,” exclaimed a third.
However, some other were more knowledgeable on the issue.
“Very surprised by the amount of people who didn’t already know this,” one person joked.
“Uhm, the clue is in the name?” added another.
It turns out that the true function of nutcrackers lies within its name.
