Christmas music!

I love listening to Christmas music and everything about it. It's only around for a month and a half so why not listen to it as much as possible and sing my heart out. I especially love Pentatonix Christmas albums :)

Christmas movies!

Because it just wouldn't be Christmas if you don't watch Elf and every other Christmas music or episode ever made.

Christmas Eve

Around the time I was a freshman in high school, our family began a new tradition of making a big Christmas Eve dinner. Each person in the family would be responsible for a dish, and we would spend most of the day in the kitchen. Then go to Christmas Eve Mass, put the finishing touches on the meal, and sit down and enjoy. We then usually open one gift and watch Christmas specials.

Christmas Break

Who doesn't love leaving school and just being off for 3 or more weeks? Especially since it's Christmas time!

Typical Stairs picture

Every year when my siblings and I wake up, we all wait by the stairs before heading down, and my mom has to get the usual Christmas stairs picture. We’re all in our 20’s except for my little brother, and I still get excited for it.

Seeing my little brother's reactions

My little brother is 9 and I love seeing the excitement on his face Christmas morning, and how it lights up each time he opens up a new present

Seeing family

Christmas is one of the times of the year that you get to see your family that you may not see all the time.

Building Snowmen/Playing in the Snow

I love snow. I love playing in it, having snowball fights, building snowmen and forts, everything. It is so much fun to play in!

All the Hot chocolate I could ever want

Hot chocolate and winter just go together so well. I go through so much hot chocolate, it's insane. Whether it's the normal milk chocolate type, white chocolate, peppermint, I love it all.

Christmas decorations

I love decorating for Christmas, setting up the tree, putting up lights. Everything. My dorm room has lights hanging right when you walk in, and a little tree that has ornaments and lights. I love to decorate for Christmas.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.

We all have a love hate relationship with winter, lets be real here. The snow makes people forget how to drive, its cold, the roads are bad, and chances are, you will be spending a lot more money than you do during the other months of the year. If you’re from the Midwest, it seems to be that winter lasts for what feels like forever. But despite the struggles that winter brings, there are so many things to love about it.

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.
