The holidays are all about absurdly gluttonous meals and sugary treats, both of which contribute to a horrifying fact we learned a while back: Americans typically gain one to three pounds between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, and most of us never lose it. Argh. But don’t...
The idea that Santa, a man with a bulbous belly full of milk and cookies, can slide down a chimney might seem preposterous to the average human. But to a contortionist, even the tightest of squeezes is a mere challenge. To show you just how incredible Santa...
Sure, there are presents and spiked eggnog and A Christmas Story playing on a continuous 168-hour loop on TV, but outside of that, the whole holiday season is pretty damn stressful. You’re spending money you don’t have and hanging around your family far more than you’d like,...
You didn’t really have to go to the bathroom — that was just an excuse. In reality, you just couldn’t take any more of your family: the nagging from the kids, the stomach-tightening political arguments, the same old stupid stories, and everything else that makes you want...

Everyone’s got that one man in their life: Well-groomed, decent style, no major red flags, and yet, there’s something that’s holding them back from putting it all together — or, better put, a lack of something. He doesn’t smell. No, I don’t mean “smell” like what a...
So you made the mistake of promising yourself that you’d at least attempt to eat healthy this Thanksgiving, and now there are several mountains of stuffing and a trough of turkey gravy situated directly in front of you. Your grandmother says, “Go ahead and dig in! You...
