Jersey girls do everything a little bigger, and according to The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member Melissa Gorga, the massive Turkey Day celebration at her home is “the real deal.” With all the love, place settings, and leopard print tops in the room…she’s definitely right!

The Real Housewives of Orange County alum Lizzie Rovsek expertly displayed how to make an entrance at an ugly sweater party…without having to actually wear anything remotely ugly. (Although, your ankles may prefer you just go for the sweater covered in reindeer and snowmen.)

The holiday season isn’t about gift giving…but every once in a while, someone shares a present that totally steals the day. That’s exactly what happened when The Real Housewives of New York City alum Dorinda Medley helped Bethenny Frankel find the toy she’d been searching for all season.

With dinners, gifts, and so much going on throughout the holidays, it can be easy to forget what is truly being celebrated. Luckily, Melissa Gorga told her children what Christmas is actually about. (Jesus’s 89th birthday, of course.)

Holiday cards are a big deal in many families, and RHOC mom Shannon Storms Beador’s crew is no exception. It can be pretty tricky to get the whole family together in matching outfits to snap a photo where everyone’s smiling and nobody is blinking, but the finished product is always absolutely beautiful.

The holidays can be a daunting time to bring a new boo around the family, as RHONJ's Dolores Catania exhibited when her boyfriend David joined her loved ones for Easter. (Even if he was a few minutes late.)

Once all of the preparation is over…it can really feel like the holiday season flies by in the blink of an eye. So, shoutout to every couple who has ever gotten engaged and thrown a big ol’ party for their friends and family—especially those who give their loved ones a reason to celebrate during the months where not much else is going on! Vishal Parvani and Richa Sadana's Family Karma engagement was so beautiful.

Remember when the Summer House cast turned Kyle Cooke’s summer birthday into a Christmas in July extravaganza? Sure, it was mainly an excellent excuse to rock some exceptionally themed outfits at a wild party, but It also taught us all the lesson that any occasion is worth celebrating if everyone is together.

If you can’t relate to a friendly game turning a tad too competitive, there’s a solid chance your family doesn’t actually play games at gatherings. It’s pretty much inevitable, but the Biermann family showed us how to handle a bit of family competition with as much love as possible on Don't Be Tardy.

If you’ve ever spent hours sweating it up in the kitchen to create a gorgeous spread of treats for your loved ones, Dorinda’s infamous “I made it nice!” speech will most definitely hit close to home. While it can be rough to feel like your work has gone unappreciated, this RHONY moment serves as a reminder that you can totally ask for credit where credit is due.
