Guide to the holidays

By Marianna McMurdock and Uma Vaingankar

Do find an ugly sweater thrifting (the experience is half the fun)!
Don’t spend $70 on one from the Urban Renewal line.

Do host a holiday extravaganza.
Don’t show up without any food.

Do put a wreath on your door to serve as quality decoration.
Don’t put a wreath on your car (your motives will be questioned).

Do buy your grandmother a gift.
Don’t expect anything better than socks in return.

Do go caroling (DECK THE HALLS WITH YOUR IMPECCABLE TONAL RANGE).
Don’t try to imitate Mariah Carey solos. Don’t.

Do make Christmas cookies!
Do eat all of them.

Do ride a sleigh.
Don’t ride a wrecking ball.
