Christmas

Most people are familiar with the massive, and very impressive, Christmas tree that graces New York City’s Rockefeller Center every year. This tree has come to symbolize the holiday season for millions of people, and is something of national icon, appearing as a backdrop in countless movies and television specials.

One little girl did her part to spread some Christmas cheer to her parents.

Little kids are the best. They're pro photobombers and make super weird raps about McDonald's, and that's just scratching the surface. But munchkins can also be the worst. Don't get us wrong-- their adorableness usually overrides any of those 'tudes they try and pull, and you know how we're suckers for anything remotely adorable. But sometimes that awful side emerges in those rare moments of bratt

Director Bob Clark’s classic holiday comedy has a distinction that few family movies can claim: Most people don’t mind watching it over and over again.

The Christmas season is the happiest time of year. We get to spend extra time with our family and friends, and there are endless supplies of cookies. While these few weeks are filled with tons of cheer, it's also the sappiest time of year, especially in the good ol' USA. It's the ideal time for overseas military men to surprise their loved ones, and of course, create tearjerker alert YouTube video

It may seem that airlines nickel-and-dime us to pieces, but one carrier has pretty much gone way above and beyond to prove it's got a heart the size of the North Pole.

'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation' was the third, and considered by many to be the best, installment in the 'Vacation' franchise.

The 1990 suburban fairy tale 'Edward Scissorhands' was the first of many collaborations between director Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, the film's star. And that almost didn't happen, as Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks and even Michael Jackson were considered for the title role before it went to Depp.

It's hard to believe the holidays have come and gone in a matter of weeks, which means all of a sudden our "binge eating" is going to be frowned upon. It also means it's time to think about taking down our festive decorations. This can be a  bummer not only because it's like getting rid of all seasonal cheer, but we also haven't the slightest idea how to get rid of our Christmas trees. L

Christmas may have come and gone but that doesn't mean that we've run out of holiday spirit. For this round of Your Week in Awesome Gifs, we've put together a bunch of reaction gifs for you. Before you begin your New Year's countdown, re-live the magical splendor / nightmare of Christmas and take a look at these awesome gifs.

The holiday season is usually a momentous time for laughs, cheers and smiles, but this kid's reaction, while still happy, was a little different. He might not have been too psyched over that initial gift, appearing a bit apathetic, but the second one surely got to him, resulting in a response no one expected -- especially the parents.

When Abby, an eight-year-old mixed breed dog that belonged to the Grapengeter family of Fairbanks, Alaska went missing on December 13th there wasn't much hope for a happy reunion.

This song comes from the Miskreant puppets, whom you may recall from that little nightmare Neil Patrick Harris had a few weeks back. This "awkward" version is probably more accurate for us than the original '12 Days of Christmas.' Inappropriate thoughts, drunk friends, a weasel in a bikini ...

Once a year, a few lucky American airmen get to play Santa Claus. Since 1952 the US Military has been flying over the islands of Micronesia around Christmastime and dropping donated goods down to the villagers who live there. After 60 years, Operation Christmas Drop is the longest running humanitarian airlift mission in the world.

Henri, the existential cat, is back! Just in case you were feeling a bit too happy about Christmas, he's here to bring you down. He makes modest mention of his accolades (you know, for making the greatest cat video on the internet, NBD), but mostly he just hates his cat roommates...
