Out of all the T.V. shows I watched growing up, Boy Meets World — by far — one of the best. But there's no denying it was a total tear-jerker. Between family feuds, friend drama, and relationship issues, there was always something seriously crazy going on between Cory, Shawn, and Topanga, and obviously Mr. Feeny.

And since holiday season and — let's be honest — seasonal depression are both in full swing right now, I decided to roundup the mushiest holiday moments of all time. Here's every time you cried during the Boy Meets World Christmas episodes.

2. When Shawn's Dad Gets Laid Off in "Santa's Little Helper"

Shawn spends the entirety of Season 1's holiday episode, "Santa's Little Helper," hiding the fact that his dad got laid off from his job. Corey finds out about his dad's unfortunate situation, so Corey decides to secretly pay Shawn's portion of the teacher's gift. In the end, it was pretty heart-warming.

3. When Corey's Date Finds Out He's Trying to Change Her in "Turnaround"

An unpopular girl asks Corey to the 'Turnaround Dance' — in which girls ask guys — and he realizes this will damage his reputation. He decides to try and "make her over," and she's fully aware of what he's trying to do. And although it's heart-breaking, she gets her revenge.

There's no denying that each and every one of Boy Meets World's Christmas episodes were total emotional roller coasters. But like every other regular episode, they provided us with the life lessons we needed growing up. Really, Mr. Feeny will forever be my life coach, whether he's dressed as Santa or in tweed.
