We are in a full-on, hot cider-fueled, recipe planning, booze buying and playlist building sprint toward Christmas. We've finally decided what to eat on Christmas, we already know what we'll we be drinking on Christmas Eve and it feels like nothing can stop the holiday cheer. Oh, except for this one thing: we got really distracted by how weird stock photos of Christmas dinner are. In fact, according to stock photos, Christmas dinner is probably one of the strangest events of the year.
We found chainsaws, turkeys burned to a crisp, manic laughter and so, so, so many headless women. Merry Christmas, guys. We hope it looks nothing like this.
