Leavey Library is more packed than Santa’s workshop, Postmates has gifted you with free delivery on Starbuck’s Peppermint Mochas and Gingerbread Lattes, The Row is “lit” with twinkling lights, and you’ve worn your Mrs. Claus dress one too many times…This can only mean one thing…It’s almost time to hop on the big red sleigh and head home for the holidays! But don’t forget the way you make spirits bright and bring holiday cheer at USC isn’t exactly happening around the Christmas tree at home . Guaranteed this list will guide you through the holidays at home better than Rudolph’s red nose on a foggy night!
1. The only man coming home with you is the gingerbread man.
2. Tell your ex from home that the man in the big red suit has already reserved his lap for you.
3. Remember, it’s JUST eggnog in your cup.
4. You can ho, ho, ho, all you want on The Row, but cover up in your ugly sweater when mingling with Grandma and Grandpa over hot coco.
5. Almost any gift can be returned, so make sure to stay on the nice list and save the coal for a cozy fire.
6. When it comes to curfews, contact Santa for private lessons on how to navigate through the chimney.
7. Baking and decorating cookies will become your new hobby…or eating sugar cookie dough and gaining the “holiday 15”.
8. Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen…Reign up all your hometown friends for an evening on the town.
9. Imagine you have someone to kiss under mistletoe.
10. Drown your finals sorrow in candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup.
You’re ready to SLEIGH the holidays at home!
