We all know being a theatre person around the holidays is the best. We’ve learned all the skills needed for navigating the world of holiday parties and celebrations from our time spent in the world of theatre. From decorating to thoughtful gift-giving — we’ve got it down.

1. You always look the best at all the holiday parties because all of the costume and makeup classes you’ve taken.

2. You’re able to break out in Christmas carols at the drop of a hat — solo or in three part harmony.

3. You love buying everyone Christmas gifts because you have all the experience of buying your cast mates opening night gifts.

4. You know how to work the room and talk to everyone because it’s a #characterchoice.

5. You could win a Tony for your acting when you receive a gift you don’t love.

6. You know the best holiday movie musicals to watch with your family.

7. You’re always ready to listen to family drama at dinner parties because it reminds you of cast drama.

8. We give the most creative gifts, because we are, well… creative.

9. You know how to navigate crowded department stores filled with shoppers because you’re used to walking in the wings in costume.
