(Image Link)

It's hard to find an appropriate drink to go with Christmas cookies because they're all over the place in terms of taste, and even milk doesn't go well with every variety of Christmas cookie.

But you know what does go well with them all? Alcohol, be it beer, liquor or wine there is an alcoholic beverage that goes great with Christmas cookies.

But in this case we're focusing on wine and Christmas cookie pairings, because wine comes in many different colors and flavors just like Christmas cookies, so there's a match made in heaven just waiting to play "jingle bells" on your taste buds!

This chart created by CountryLiving shows the perfect wine to complement eight of the most popular Christmas cookies, from those fancy Linzer cookies to the fudge crinkles I can't stop eating to those little smilin' gingerbread people.

And if you require a more in-depth analysis of why the two work so well together head to the link below and read all about it!

People Sum Up The Dumbest Thing They've Ever Bought In Six Words Or Less

When you have money to spend you tend to spend it, and most people have at least one type of thing they tend to spend money on, be it collectibles, clothes, concerts, food or all of the above and more. 

But more important than this bond of buying is the other thing we all have in common- the fact that we've all bought some really dumb stuff in our lifetimes.

"So many improv classes, so many." - Eve, 24

"An expensive, 'realistic'-looking horse mask." - Priscilla, 40

"Customized Patrick Stump mugshot phone case." - Scarlet, 23

"A bachelor's degree in broadcast communications." - Mike, 37

"Yellowed Masonic magazines from the 1920s." - Harry, 30

"The Conor McGregor–Floyd Mayweather fight - Larry, 29

"Black denim jorts with butt flap." - Peter, 23

"An autographed 'King of Queens' script." - Pilot, 29

VICE asked a bunch of people to share the dumbest thing they've ever spent money on, and for the sake of brevity they asked them all to describe it in six words or less.

"I had ten Tamagotchis in 2005." - Ali, 22

"$650 for unlimited Brazilian wax pass." - Lily, 26

"Rare Pappy Van Winkle bourbon bottle." - Thomas, 36

"Starbucks delivery. I had the flu." - Brittany, 27

"Kylie Jenner's dumb $2.99/month mobile app." - Anna, 29

"Airline Wi-Fi that (predictably) never works." - Janessa, 37

"My 2010 marriage to that idiot." - Lauren, 35

I once bought a pair of TUK platform Creepers that were so tall I couldn't walk in them without rolling my ankle or falling flat on my face. Used to love to wear them when I went out to the bars too, so you can imagine how well that went...

Glowing Worms Turn Caves In New Zealand Into A Magical Wonderland

We don't expect to see lights in an underground cavern unless humans put them there, but if you pay a visit to various caves in New Zealand, caves where few humans have ever gone, the glow worms that live there will light the place up for you.

Photographer Shaunn Jeffers first explored the caves beneath New Zealand and discovered their hidden insectile beauty many moons ago, and this glowing underworld has fascinated him ever since.

So Shaunn keeps slipping into his wetsuit and heading in to every cave he can find, to see what sort of glowing worms he'll meet there:

I have explored caves in both New Zealand’s Northland and Waikato regions and have been totally mesmerised by what I have found! From small public accessible caves to huge Department of Conservation permit only caves big enough to fit a cruise ship, it’s been an absolute incredible experience!

I’ve never experienced anything quite like it and to be honest it’s difficult to put the feeling into words – standing alone in total darkness looking up at these little glowing creatures is just so surreal and magical. It’s like looking up at a starry night sky.

I used a combination of Nikon equipment including my D850, D810, and various lenses. Shooting glowworms are no easy feat. Photographing them is just like taking photos of the night sky, only the exposure time can be much longer. Depending on how close I was to the glowworms and the amount of them, exposures varied from 30 seconds to 8 minutes. To achieve the shots, some required me to submerge myself and my tripod in freezing cold water, other required hiking, climbing, abseiling and swimming. Once again, totally worth it! Bring on more glowworm adventures!

Clever 3D Optical Illusion Newspaper Ad

People who purchase ad space in newspapers often do interesting things with the space, such as write scathing editorials, celebrate a loved one's accomplishment or to ask for someone's hand in marriage.

But creating an ad that not only appeals to customers but also messes with their minds is money well spent!

Graphic designers Felipe Salazar and Karen Castañeda created this awesome 3D optical illusion ad for the supermarket HiperCentro Corona, and if you look closely you can see the illusion makes the blocks of text look like a small kitchen.

Product Designers Who Are Definitely On Santa's Naughty List

Designers sometimes like to have a bit of fun with the customers by including some silly or naughty detail in their creations, which adds a subtle touch that instantly makes the person who notices it grin from ear to ear.

But the people who created the naughty stuff on this list decided not to bother being subtle with their smutty additions and went for the full how-do-you-do with their product designs instead.

Designers normally refrain from adding anything too offensive to their creations, so they don't get in trouble with the company they're designing for, but whoever created this "minimal Christmas tree" clearly wanted their creation to become the butt of many jokes.

Delicious Side Dishes You'll Want At Your Christmas Dinner

No holiday dinner spread is complete without the sides, and most people like to have lots of different sides on the table so everyone can have a bountiful meal full of different flavors.

But unless you're a die-hard fan of the traditional sides like green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and cranberry relish you're probably hungry for a new taste sensation to add to your holiday dinners.

So maybe you should whip up some Braised Greens instead of a green bean casserole and cook some Cheesy Rice to replace those boring old mashed potatoes?

Doesn't that look nicer than a pile of potato mush? And wouldn't it be nice to serve your guests a cranberry sauce they'll remember for the rest of their lives?

That's where the Rosemary-Port Cranberry Sauce comes in- it's made with Gran Marnier, Port, rosemary and ginger, so you know your guests will be talking about this taste sensation for years to come!

Anyone Who Has Ever Worked In Retail Will Relate To These "Customer Service Wolf" Comics

People who work in retail or customer service positions must be hating life right about now because the shoppers are out there and they're frantic to get their shopping done in time for the big day.

But why hate your customer service life when you can laugh about how much you hate the customers who come in to your store?

They're not all detestable, but the jerks who act like they own the place because they spend money at your store can really get your hackles up. However, since you can't beat 'em you may as well imagine eating 'em!

Customer Service Wolf is a comic strip that stars a refreshingly un-anthropomorphized wolf working the register and dealing with all the dumb animals who come into his store to make his life hell.

These gorgeously drawn comics are instantly relatable to anyone who has worked retail, and thinking about them while you're at work is guaranteed to put a big, toothy grin on your face!

Super Powers You Didn't Know The Joker Had

The Joker isn't just a pretty face with an excruciatingly hysterical laugh- he's also a metahuman with extraordinary powers that aid him in his quest to get under the Batman's skin.

And yet even though his powers make him more than a match for ol' Batsy he lets the Dark Knight live- because their show must go on.

Should Batman ever want to kill the Joker once and for all he may find the task difficult, if not impossible- because the Joker has toxic blood, an extremely high tolerance for pain, oh, and he's immortal.

In fact, the Joker has become immortal both by becoming a Dark Judge in a Judge Dredd crossover and by injecting himself with a mysterious toxin that allowed him to heal from mortal wounds in the story arc Batman: Endgame.

But the Joker's greatest ability, and his greatest achievement, is his ability to make Batman laugh:

In the final pages of Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s acclaimed one-shot, Batman: The Killing Joke, the Joker tells a joke about a pair of inmates in a mental asylum who try to escape, with Batman finding the punchline — “What do you think I am, crazy? You’d just turn it off when I’m halfway across!” — hysterical. Some people believe the joke is what the title The Killing Joke refers to (if you believe Batman actually kills the Joker in the end) but that’s something we may never know. In either case, the Joker successfully, unquestionably made the Dark Knight laugh, and if that’s not a superpower, we don’t know what is.

Intricate Models Reveal The Elements Of A World War I Trench

World War I will forever be associated with trench warfare, an antiquated and ineffective form of warfare that killed more troops with sickness and infection than with actual combat.

These trenches of death were more than just pits dug in the dirt, and as the soldiers settled in they improved their trenches to increase durability, decrease wetness and make them all more "comfortable".

Military enthusiast and model maker Andy Belsey has been creating incredibly detailed models of WWI trenches and blogging about his work on MilitaryModeling.com for several years now, and trenches have never looked more majestic.

Each one of Andy's trench section models is labeled to show how they were made, which side faces the battlefield and what makes an "Ideal Trench" different from a "Wet Soil Trench".

They also feature models of soldiers in appropriate attire and perfect little props and details, each of which Andy painstakingly creates by hand.

The Gift Queen Elizabeth Gives All Of Her Employees Every Christmas

Queen Elizabeth is not only the current British monarch- she's an employer, a boss lady if you will, and like all bosses she likes to give her employees a little something extra for Christmas each year.

But the Queen doesn't give her employees a sweater or a royal badge of appreciation, she gives all 1,500 of her employees the same thing- some special Christmas pudding:

"About 1500 Christmas puddings paid for by The Queen (through the Privy Purse) are distributed to staff throughout the Palaces, staff in the Court Post Office and Palace police," the website states. "Each pudding is accompanied by a greeting card from The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh."

As well as being gifted a pudding, those who have worked for the Queen, 91, for a considerable length of time are said to also receive a voucher.

The tradition of giving Christmas pudding dates back to King George V and King George VI, who also gave their employees a pudding at Christmas like a couple of cheapos.

If you ask me a pudding hardly sounds like a royal bonus- maybe the Queen should buy her staffers some scratchcards at Tesco instead?

Frozen Bigfoot Head Examined

If some guy told me he had a frozen Bigfoot head sitting at home I'd assume he was talking about some kind of frozen confection shaped like Bigfoot's head, you know, the ones with the bubblegum eyeballs?

Well, in this case the frozen Bigfoot head in question is "real", that is to say, YouTuber Peter Caine Dog Training claims to have the actual severed head of a famous cryptid in his freezer says it's the genuine article- and he's willing to examine it on video to prove it's authenticity.

Here's the story behind this man's hoaxy sounding claim:

The man who showed the world his “Frozen Sasquatch Foot” earlier this year is back with a piece of the beast that is even bigger and better than the giant foot … a head he claims was once on a living Sasquatch before his father killed the huge creature in 1953, cut it up and froze it until his son found people who would believe the story or needed to raise some money. That day has arrived.

“My Bigfoot frozen head video is doing good, 30,000 views in 2 days but that’s not good enough everyone needs to know Sasquatch is real before the Government tries to silence the truth #Bigfoot”

Movie Fight Scene Tropes That Need To Die

Movie fight scenes are exciting to watch but they can also be quite formulaic and predictable, and it often seems like the writers just give up and pull tropes out of a hat when it comes time to write a fight scene into the script.

But there are certain fight scene tropes that cartoonist JHALL cannot stand and I tend to agree with him, especially the one where the main character masters a martial art in less than a month.

Do you think people would spend their lives mastering a martial art if some yutz "chosen by fate" could learn all the ins and outs in a few weeks? And what would be the point of mastering a martial art if some heroic little girl can still kick you straight through a wall whenever she wants?

Come on Hollywood, try harder!

The Weirdest British Television Commercials

Japanese advertisers have cornered the market on weird commercials, and American advertisers have come up with their fair share of strange TV spots too, but if you're looking for something tasteful yet bizarre you've got to head to the UK.

For these days British advertisers are fond of creating oddball commercials with a decidedly British flair that properly reflects British culture and therefore sets them apart from the rest in terms of strangeness.

I mean, where else can you see a monkey singing about Jammies, a mounted moose head that craves wine gums or a wife being unfaithful to her husband with a lobster?

Holiday Movie Food Scenes Ranked

Food factors in to every get together we have during the holiday season so it's no wonder almost every holiday movie has a scene in it where friends and family sit down at a table to enjoy a meal together, often with disastrous results.

These dinner scenes are such a staple that even movies like Home Alone 2 that aren't technically holiday movies still feature a food scene representing the holiday feast.

(YouTube Link)

The Home Alone 2 limo feast scene came in at number 2 on Uproxx's list of Holiday Food Scenes Ranked, which seems a bit high, and yet the dinner scene from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation came in at number 9, which seems way too low.

(YouTube Link)

They also ranked the spaghetti breakfast scene in Elf at number 7, which also seems a bit low, but who cares how they rank these scenes? I just tuned in for the Christmas movie fun!
