Bon Appetit: Bubba Kush
Holiday’s are synonymous with stuffing your face until you’re on the verge of exploding. There is no turning down Grandma’s spiral ham, no matter how many houses you have had dinner at previously. Whatever your tradition may be, smoke a little Bubba Kush before indulging. You won’t just increase your appetite, but every single bite will taste that much better. Bubba Kush is known for its heavy tranquilizing, so make sure you have time to sneak in a post-feast nap!
Scoping out Christmas lights: Gorilla Glue #4
There is nothing better than being driven around to look at all the crazy Christmas displays through local towns. The simply psychedelic high from Gorilla Glue #4 is guaranteed to make even the lamest light shows seem like they were set up by NASA. Boasting between 30-35% THC, this high octane herb is no joke. Toke a little before situating yourself comfortably in the passenger seat, and enjoy as the initial visual intensity turns into a mellow body high. Looking at Christmas lights has never been this bad ass.
Family time: Cherry Bomb

Cherry Bomb is ideal for daytime consumption and will make hearing Uncle John re-tell all of his stories a little more tolerable than before.
Gift grab tradition: Chemdawg
