Each year is full of anniversaries, fun, entertainment, weddings, holidays and more. How to get through this year without wanting to kill yourself - again. Here are some tips.
Easter - Jesus got bamboozled on both his big days. The fat man in the red suit barged in a Christmas and giant egg pudding rabbit crashed Easter. Enjoy those peeps!
Mother's day - She brought you into this world and you thanked her with dirty diapers. You owe reparations, so treat the first woman in your life to a nice meal and a card. Sound nuts, but women love cards. Trust me.
Father's day - Fathers get the short end of the stick, so let dad know you appreciate him more than another ugly tie. Something fun. Something that can roast a whole animal. Hint hint.
Thanksgiving - Quite possibly the greatest American holiday. Get ready to eat, but have a backup plan when your creepy uncle plops down to watch the game with his pants unbuttoned.
Holiday shopping - Unless you are prepared to throw elbows at old women, online is the way to go. It's easy, convenient and you don't have to wear pants.
Hanukkah - Put on your yalmulkha, here comes Hanukkah. It's so much fun-akkah to celebrate Hanukkah. If you're of the Jewish faith, enjoy your eight crazy nights. If not, enjoy a bowl of matzo ball soup. It's chicken soup with a giant cracker ball. Quite delicious.
Christmas - Getting together with family is gun, but can result in migraines. make time for your family, but also your friends. Eat a lot of food, open gifts and be thankful you don't have to visit Aunt Fitz-monster for another 364 days.
Kwanzaa - Kwanzaa is a week-long celebration held in the United States honoring African heritage and culture, observed from December 26 January 1. Unfortunately, it still involves your crazy relatives.
Eid-al-Fitr - Muslims celebrate this festival after the 30 days of fast. So enjoy the sugar feast. Attack on food, Chaat, Sawaiyan with distributing the words Happy Eid Mubarak.
Diwali - Is also called the 'festival of lamps'. Hindu community especially in India celebrates this religious holidays. Clean your house make the entrance way colorful using the traditional Rangoli designs.
Valentine's day - Warning: If you're in a relationship handle this day with care or disastrous results follow. Flowers for jewelry? Candy or stuffed animal? What color are my eyes? Choose wisely, grasshopper.
Halloween - Women seem to follow a simple formula. Add the word cowgirl to any costume - sexy, sailor, cat, whatever. They're happy, we're happy and this crazy world continues to turn.
Making it through school finals - You below off class and the foreign kid with the good notes took his exam early. It's a hard knock life. Organize a study group, crack some books and don't wait until the last minute. Or, just change your name and flee the scene.
Independence day - God bless our world. Nothing says freedom like beer and China-made explosives. We know it's hard to resist the urge to cram 20 cherry bombs in an anthill, but remember that handling hot dogs with only three fingers is a balancing act.
Earning extra cash for the holidays - The economy is in the crapper, but there are extra jobs this time of year. Hit up Craigslist and OLX or just grab a snow shovel and put back into it.
Holiday work parties - Hopefully you work for a company that provides an open bar-woo hoo! If not, then get ready for a Fresca and a barren cheese platter. Do enjoy some holiday spirits, but maintain a little poise. You don't want your co-workers thinking 12 steps.

New year's day - Start the evening with a plan that involves more than pushing the human body to the limits of alcohol consumption. Like how you're getting home. Walking up in a jail cell spooning a guy named "Kong" isn't a good way to start the NEW year.Valentine's day - Warning: If you're in a relationship handle this day with care or disastrous results follow. Flowers for jewelry? Candy or stuffed animal? What color are my eyes? Choose wisely, grasshopper.
