We asked y’all to use the hashtag #HappyHoligays on social media this season, and boy, did you ever! Y’all posted things that were deeply moving, deeply hilarious, and deeply relevant, and I love you for it. Here’re the highlights!
Holigay Happenings
So, this happened.

Moving right along, y’all looked adorable all season. Even when you were working, or tree shopping. And that is legitimately impressive.


Ah, the holigay season. It’s like I’m in Klub Deer for months at a time.


Also, I wanna go back in time to when you all posted these adorable tributes to friendship and encourage you to create the hashtag #lesbrohoho. Even the time the person doing it was me.








Festive Cats and Other Animal Adventures
These pets give Eli a run for his money.






Decorations, Goodies, and Gifts
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, that is what I have for this person.

This is a puddle of cute.

It wouldn’t be a holigay without excessive amounts of food! Or without Gabby.

Also, what do I say at Starbucks to make this happen? Please inform me immediately. I feel like I’d look good in the froth of a cappuccino.

I would eat all of these, Robin.

Some of y’all made vagina ornaments and other totally gay hanging things, adding a new dimension to the phrase “getting hung.”



Also, there was an OITNB tree and I was jealous it wasn’t in my living room.

‘Tis the Season to Be Snuggling
Crossing my fingers that these cards happened and are on their way to me right now.


You guys are so cute it’s actually gross, only not really because love is never gross and the people who say so are just denying their true desires! La la la.



Now that’s just too much yet the perfect amount of everything all at once and I’m melting.


Does this mistletoe on a stick contraption reach all the way to Canada? Asking for a friend.
…And Scissoring
Some of you also found the time to #ScissorandSweat.

If you weren’t wearing #AutostraddleMerch, you at least still looked damn good.

No, autocorrect, I meant double FISTING, not double GIFTING. #HappyHoligays #MerryChristmasEve #tistheseason

1. I can’t tell if this is a fisting joke or a drinking joke.
2. Either way, I hate it when that happens.
