There's something about the holidays that puts a lot of us here at TheFW into extra crafty moods.

10 Adorable Reactions on Christmas Morning
On Christmas morning, there's nothing worse than getting a bad reaction to one of your presents. This is especially prevalent among the younger crowd, particularly those under age 12. Why?

17 Houses Decked Out for Christmas
No matter what the holiday, we always love getting extra festive. It's not like we need an excuse to wear awful Christmas sweaters or take part in a harmless snowman prank, but doing that stuff during the season makes us look a little less crazy. The season also provides the perfect excuse to go way overboard in the decorating department.
11 Impressively Cool Snowmen
For most of us here in the good ol' USA, winter means cold, cold weather. While a lot of the time that can really stink, it can also mean the arrival of snow, and we all know that's the best part of the wintry months!

10 Helpful Christmas ‘Hacks’ for the Holidays
The holiday season is easily the greatest time of year, mostly because good moods are abundant and we get to eat tons and tons of cookies.

10 Heartwarming Holiday Soldier Homecomings
The Christmas season is the happiest time of year. We get to spend extra time with our family and friends, and there are endless supplies of cookies. While these few weeks are filled with tons of cheer, it's also the sappiest time of year, especially in the good ol' USA. It's the ideal time for overseas military men to surprise their loved ones, and of course, create tearjerker alert YouTube video
11 Adorable Elf Babies From Instagram
Santa's elves are the greatest. For starters, they work super hard in his workshop all year round making our Christmas presents and baking delicious treats so Santa maintains that cookie belly. However, we do think these charming people are highly underrated. They're arguably the most charming part of Christmas, after all!
