Five Christmas Things That Freak Me Out

Since everyone is writing all about the Christmas things that they love and look forward to, I thought I'd march the other way and talk about the stuff that really creeps me out. Gives me the holiday heebie jeebies if you would (oh man, that probably sounds so much funnier to me than anyone else..

Elf on a Shelf okay, maybe this is because I don't have kids or whatever but a tiny elf reporting everything back to Santa is just weird to me. Plus they look SUPER creepy. I probably would have had nightmares about them if I had one when I was a kid. 
so many inappropriate elf on the shelf things here
that line "say, what's in this drink?" in Baby, It's Cold Outside I mean, hey buddy, what is in her drink? Why you gotta put something in your lady's drink at Christmas? Or ever? I'm sure she just means it's stronger than she realized, but still. What's up with that? Actually. You know what, just the whole song. It seems a little aggressive. She said she can't stay, lend her your coat + let her go home bro.
those "Elf Yourself" videos or really any of the videos where you put your head on something/someone else's body. I don't know why. It just freaks me out. Probably because your face isn't going the way the rest of the body is and it could totally be like a horror movie. 
the Grinch // okay. I know it's a popular Christmas story but MAN does it freak me out. I don't know why. The cartoon one gave me nightmares as a kid, but then I got over that just in time for them to make one with real people which is even more terrifying. It doesn't help that the people at the front of my dad's neighborhood make + sell wooden cutouts of him.
SEE HOW SCARY IS THAT
mistletoe // this could go either way. I mean, if you're caught under the mistletoe with someone you want to kiss, okay, but what if it's someone you don't want to kiss? what if it's that creepy guy who followed you near it, just hoping you would get close enough for him to say "hoo ohh look who's caught under the mistletoe!"
awkward mistletoe moments
Honorable mentions: eggnog, because what even IS eggnog? are you drinking eggs in rum? it sounds gross ; that song about grandma getting run over by a reindeer, like did she die + we all just think it's okay? it sounds a little like she hit the eggnog too hard + didn't make it home ; he knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake do you ever feel like somebody's waaatchin' you?
What things about the holidays make you uncomfortable? I'm linking up with Sarah + Karli because I'm a fan of awkward situations at Christmas and because I named five things! HEY FRIDAY!

  2. I mean, I've never had eggnog, so maybe it's not gross. but I don't understand what it is! like, eggs and milk and rum? sounds like a bad idea to me!

  4. LOL, I am cracking up at these! Awesome and SO true! I also find Elf on the Shelf a little creepy and weird. Plus the ones like pictured above are just disturbing- it's supposed to be a kids' thing! YES I hate the Elf Yourself things, they're just weird and annoying to me, and that Grinch face always creeped me out too! Especially when Jim Carrey does that same face dressed as the Grinch! ::shudders::

  8. Eggnog is your grandmothers favorite holiday drink. Perhaps you should ask her about it.

  12. I completely agree with the Baby It's Cold Outside lyric. Actually the whole song gives me the bad kind of chills especially the, "The answer is No....but baby it's cold out there." Bro, haven't you heard, "The cold never bothered me anyway. K. Bye."

  13. This post made me giggle a little.. You're right, these things are a little creepy. I can't believe no one else is talking about this!

  14. Okay I HATE* the idea of a missile toe. Like..why would I want to kiss you, random stranger who has been mirroring my every move?! And I completely agree with the lyrics from "Baby It's Cold Outside." It seems like a hostage situation to me. No. Not having it.

  17. oh man, right? like should we call the cops for this girl? why won't he let her go? luckily, I've never been caught under the mistletoe.

  18. I think mistletoe is the number one peeve for me. I've never and will never kiss someone just cause we're standing under mistletoe and I think it's creepy to even suggest. Just keep walking.

  19. I mean. it's really weird. I'm sure you could make it all cute, but it just seems so creepy to me!

  20. hahaha oh The Office... I miss it so! I agree, the Baby It's Cold Outside is a total date rape song, I can't stand it!

  21. Hahahah this made me laugh, I have a fear of the Elf on the Shelf, I also don't' have kids and those of my friends that do say that the elf on the shelf fear goes away because it's fun for your kids. I dunno... I picture the elf on the shelf hiding in the kitchen with a knife, that's just me. It won't be long before they make a horror movie about him...seriously. The song "Baby it's Cold outside" makes me laugh, because just the year I have really listened to the lyrics, like REALLY actually listened and I'm like "dude, she wants to go home and her sister is going to worry about her why the heck won't you let her leave?" and it doesn't matter who sings it, the guy always sounds creepy. I love eggnog, the Grinch, and I'm sorry but those elf videos make me laugh my ass off, but I get your drift. Loved this post though!
