Top Christmas Don’ts

It's the end of the year and everywhere you turn it's lists! List on the best sides, lists on the best Christmas music, lists about lists about the best lists. I'm guilty of it, but that's what you do this time of year. Just like February in sports radio is Mount Rushmore month. We all have quotas that need to be hit, and these things help fill those quotas when some time off is around the corner! Now that we're all aware of what we're doing here, lets talk about the top things you should not do during Christmas. Also known as Christmas don'ts. This survey was done by a British site called Thortful.

10. Leaving decorations up in January

How far into January are we talking? Before the end of the first week? What person is so ready for Christmas to end and the dead of winter to start that they're removing the decorations before or with a New Years Day hangover.

6. Hating Christmas or being a Grinch 

Yea you suck, don't do this.

5. Being hungover on Christmas Day

This one needs a bit more clarity. How hungover are we talking. You should be able to get out of bed and do stuff with family, kids and loved ones. But you should definitely be granted a bit of a hangover. Christmas morning coffee hits so much better! We do Seven Fishes on Christmas Eve. Really we get together to eat and drink while attempting to put  7 things that lived in the ocean into our stomachs.

4. Putting the Christmas tree up too early

This should be replaced with putting your lights up too early. The tree is inside your house, do what ever you want in your own home. If you're putting your lights up before Thanksgiving that's too early... Brendan, I'm talking about you. The lights look great, but let Thanksgiving have it's day.
