15 Reasons To Love The Christmas Season

Dec 05, 2016

Mallory Davis

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! December is my all time favorite month, end of statement. Here are just a few things that make the month of Christmas so special.

1. We get to celebrate Jesus’ birth

Make sure to always remember the reason for the season!

2. Candy Canes

It is the only time of the year that Candy canes are acceptable. Honestly, we should riot that candy canes be allowed all year long.

3. The 25 days of Christmas on FreeForm

They can change the name of the channel as long as they don't take my count down to Christmas away.

4. Outdoor Christmas lights

The joy of driving around and looking at Christmas lights is incomparable.

5. Christmas Caroling

"The best way to spread Christmas is singing loudly for all to hear." -Elf-

6. Christmas spirit fills the air

Folks tend to be more caring during the Christmas season. I guess they are trying to get back on the nice list.

7. Antioch’s Bethlehem revisited

This is a must for anyone in the Conway area. Antioch recreates the city of Bethlehem and allows you to take a step into the night our savior was born in.

8. Hallmark.

End of statement Hallmark is the truly the heart of TV. Every night in December I watch at least 2 sappy movies, that get me all in my feels.

9. Christmas music!

Here. There. Everywhere! I love that I am able to listen to non-stop holiday music for a whole month!

10. Nothing can top a good ole cup of Hot Cocoa with marshmallows

11. Santa Clause

Need I say more, no matter how old you get, you never get too old for Santa!

12.PRESENTS

Cheesy I know but I do enjoy buying everyone gifts and even receiving a few too!

13. The Nutcracker ballet.

This is one of my all times favorites! As a kid I dreamed of being Clara and having my nutcracker turn into a prince. It hasn't happen yet but i refuse to give up.

14. Family traditions.

I am a sucker for old timey traditions, they are what makes each of our families unique.

15. The jingling Salvation Army

It makes my heart so happy to hear those bells as I wonder down the shopping center.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf: Your Spirit Animal

Who wouldn't wanna be Queen B?

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
