I woke up this morning and realized it was December and immediately panicked because I don’t think any of us have made enough lists. Why? Because it’s list season. It’s the time of year we rank everything and judge everything and reminisce on everything, and if we don’t, the whole year is a waste and we have wasted it, and we have probably let down our parents, too.
Well, to that I say no more. On this, the first day of December, I have your back. I will not let you go list-less on this, the first day of the last month of the year. I’ve got more lists than you can shake a stick at. I’ll make sure that when you gather ’round the fire and contrast/compare the ups and downs of the last 365 days amongst your friends and family members, you’ll have fodder for weeks. Four weeks, specifically. Mainly, however many weeks we have left in the year.
Get ready to list this month, friend. Here’s a list of all the lists you can write:
1) The year’s best movies
2) The year’s best TV shows
3) The year’s best songs
4) The year’s best artists
5) The year’s best Drake
6) The year’s best turtleneck Drake wore
7) The best tribute to Adele on the Internet
8) The best impression you’ve done of Adele in the car, when the music’s turned up too loud for you to hear yourself
9) The best impression you’ve done of Taylor Swift in the car, when the music’s turned up too loud for you to hear yourself and you convince yourself that if you were to perform “Style” in a karaoke bar, [celebrity you love] would hear and fall in love with you immediately
