December 22nd is officially Hipster Christmas. Hipsters don’t celebrate Christmas on the 25th because celebrating on the 25th is way too mainstream. I found inspiration for a Hipster Christmas on Pinterest. Here is a glimpse…
Here are 20 tips to a successful Hipster Christmas from the official Hipster Christmas website:
1. All attendees should arrive via fixed speed bicycle.
2. See whose messenger bag can fit the most gifts.
3. Ugly sweaters are so mainstream. They are ironic again so do it up.
4. If you were one of Santa’s reindeer, which one would you be? Discuss. (Rudolph is the wrong answer)
5. Make sure you wear your wayfarers when looking at bright holiday lights.
6. Unless you have a real mustache, everyone must wear a fake mustache.
7. Compare your Four Square statuses with other partygoers.
8. Sufjan Steven’s holiday album is too popular. Listen to the Rat Pack who are so old that they are new again.
9. Ratio of Instragram pictures you take: moments of joy you should experience be no less than 3:1.
10. Enjoy an ironic light beer that’s so bad it’s good (it’s actually bad).
11. Drink eggnog out of mason jars. Make sure it’s made from free-range eggs.
12. Try not to catch your bangs on fire while lighting Christmas candles.
13. Have a conversation about whose gone the longest without cable.
14. Have a contest to see who has the most star tattoos.
15. Fake mustaches have now gone mainstream. Get rid of fake mustaches.
16. No matter how much you eat, you must not undo the button of your skinny jeans.
17. Hack the Macbook Pro your dad bought you and install Windows 95.
18. Make New Year’s travel plans to either Williamsburg, East Austin or Silver Lake.
19. Have a debate about fonts.
20. Talk about how much you hate hipsters.
