Five Great Christmas Movies to Watch During December

1. Home Alone

The first Home Alone movie debuted in 1990 and was a huge hit. People all around the world love this movie and the story behind it. This classic movie about a boy left all alone for Christmas but makes the best of it with his adventures is a great comedy to watch with your entire family.

2. The Santa Claus

This movie is a must-see on Christmas because if you don't watch it, did Christmas really happen? The Santa Clause series of movies is great for kids and adults so when you're all sitting around the Christmas tree after opening presents this movie would be the perfect one to watch.

3. Elf

If you don't know what movie this is- stop reading this right now and go watch it. This movie is one of the best Christmas movies hands down. I don't know a single human who does not enjoy this film. You could watch it all year round not even during the holidays and it would be acceptable.

4. A Christmas Story

This film is an all-time classic. You love it, your parents love it, your grandparents love it and your great grandparents probably love it. This movie is about a kid who has a dream about making this particular Christmas the best one yet and though he goes through some tough times (as most children do) he tries to remain in the Christmas spirit.

5. How The Grinch Stole Christmas

The Grinch is an oldie but goodie. This 2000 film was a family hit. I always love watching this movie because Jim Carrey made it so entertaining. This movie is a must-watch during the holidays. After chowing down on Christmas dinner, curl up with some hot cocoa and turn this movie on to end your night right!

These movies are some of the best movies to watch during the holidays and will definitely get you and the rest of your family in to the holiday spirit!

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
