Don’t Freak Out! Here’s What to Wear On Christmas [CC Loobook]
Sure you want to dress up and enjoy these special occasions but that doesn’t mean you have to do look like an extra from Gossip Girl. When this much glitter is involved it gets a little complicated, so check out my tips below to help you find the perfect outfit for any holiday party this season.
8 Silly Questions Non-Jews Ask the Chosen People
As the Festival of Lights wraps up in high, fiery fashion, I think it’s time we discuss some of the most outrageous questions Jews have been asked this holiday season. When I was asked to write this article, instead of thinking up questions that non-Jews could ask, I did some research and asked friends (including CollegeCandy editor, the fabulous Jenni Maier) for some real-life experiences.

8 Things I Want for Chanukah: The SNL Edition
For Chanukah there are many things I want from stores around town or off my favorite sites online, but this year I’d prefer some things I’ve learned from Saturday Night Live. Who said TV isn’t educational? It’s taught me about my true wants and desires. (Besides number 4, but I’m trying to help you girls out there any way I can.)
Weekly Wrap Up: I Hate This Week
This week was pretty eh. I mean, between finals, grad school applications, and the 25 feet of snow outside, we’ve all had a rough few days. Luckily we’ve been writing feverishly (what else are we supposed to do when we’re cooped up inside?) so you have plenty to read while you’re procrastinating that 10-page research paper.
The 8 Hotties of Hanukkah: Jewish Food [GALLERY]
Sure we love good-looking, funny, charming, magical, stand-up comedian, scrub-wearing Jewish men. But at the end of the day, our hearts lay with our one true love: Jewish food. Rain or shine, straightener or no-straightener, memorable Bat Mitzvah party favor or throwaway gift, Jewish food has always been there for us.
The 8 Hotties of Hanukkah: Andy Samberg [GALLERY]
Andy Samburg is the kind of Jew that gives us faith. Faith that Jewish guys who are taller than 5’6 exist. Faith that the stereotypical Jew can be hot. Faith that there are Jewish boys who don’t become doctors, lawyers or investment bankers. He’s like a dream come true and our enormous crush on this SNL funny man is borderline inappropriate.
The 8 Hotties of Hanukkah: Daniel Radcliffe [GALLERY]
We love a Jewish man with an accent (even if that man entered our hearts as a teeny, tiny little boy), which is why Daniel Radcliffe is our 6th Hottie of Hanukkah.

The 8 Hotties of Hanukkah: Jason Segel [GALLERY]
Jason Segel. My knight in once-awkward Jewish armor. This man has no fear. Especially when he showed off his matzoh balls in ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall.’ Woo-wee, Segel! Don’t be shy!
The 8 Hotties of Hanukkah: Mark Salling [GALLERY]
Mark Salling reminds us just how beautiful a bad Jewish boy can be. Move over Rabbi Goldberg, because this faux-hawk styling stud makes us want to skip our traditional latkes dinner and head straight for dessert.
The 8 Hotties of Hanukkah: Zach Braff [GALLERY]
How can you not love a little frat boy (Phi Kappa Psi, represent!) from Jersey with impeccable taste in music who just totally gets your plight but can also make you giggle? This is a boy you can definitely take home to the family Hanukkah party.
The 8 Hotties of Hanukkah: Drake [GALLERY]
How can you celebrate the festival of lights without the brightest (or sexiest) light of them all, Drake? Do you remember when this Canadian cutie was cruising around in a wheelchair on Degrassi: The Next Generation? He’s come such a long way!
The 8 Hotties of Hanukkah: Jake Gyllenhaal [GALLERY]
Tonight marks the first night of Hanukkah. If you’re one of the lucky Jews out there who still gets a sick present for every one of the 8 (crazy) nights, kudos to you. Bitch. If you’re like us here at CollegeCandy, you get a Starbucks gift card from your grandpa for $18 and a “what? I don’t do enough for you all year?” guilt trip from your mom.
Holiday Present Nostalgia [GALLERY]
Before the days of Four Loko prohibition, staying up all night to write a 19-page term paper on Harry Potter symbolism, and Sunday morning hangovers, there were days of innocence and Gap outfits and toy commercials that made you drool all over your yourself.
So, What Did Ya Get?
Not being a Christmas celebrater myself, it took me quite a few years to get used to getting phone calls at 8am on December 26th, my friends screaming about True Religions, the Gilmore Girls DVD box-set, and “OMG MY MOM GOT ME THREE HANDLES OF SMIRNOFF!!!” on the other end.
Do It Yourself Tuesdays: Holiday Wrapping Paper
It’s gift giving time and that means one thing: you’ve got a lot of wrapping to do. And if you’re anything like me, you’re way too cheap to spend money on holiday wrapping paper. Plus, is it really fair to our lovely planet to waste a tree on something that just gets thrown away? I don’t think so.
Cheap Gifts For the “Others” On Your List
So we all have those people in our lives that we get excited to buy gifts for. Then there are the other people. Like your brother’s girlfriend who apparently got you something even though they’ve only been dating for three months and you barely know the girl (and they will probs break up in a week, anyway) so what the eff do you get her?
