Considering Christmas is less than a month away, it's time to break out some hot coco and play some classics. This is a list of some of the best Christmas movies TV has to offer to get yourself in the Christmas spirit!

1) Rudolph the Red- Nosed Reindeer

An absolute classic movie and carol. Can't go wrong with your favorite reindeer!

2) A Charlie Brown Christmas

If you don't know this movie, you should be ashamed of yourself! That tree is iconic, I even own one as a Christmas decoration in my house!

3) Santa Clause is Coming to Town

Ever wonder the story about Santa Clause? Well this movie gives you a tell all story about Santa Clause! Nothing beats the classic stop-motion Christmas movies!

4) The Year Without a Santa Clause

The siblings of the holiday season... Snow Miser and Heat Miser. These two are basically you and your sibling in a nutshell!

5) How the Grinch Stole Christmas

The only one who would ever want to steal Christmas... the classic Grinch!

6) Jack Frost

Ever wonder how the snow and cold weather comes about? Well Jack Frost can explain it to you! Along with the help of the Groundhog!

7) Twas the Night Before Christmas

8) Frosty the Snowman

Because we all wish we had a snowman like Frosty growing up!

9) The Little Drummer Boy

Definitely one of my favorite classics and favorite Christmas carols!

10) A Garfield Christmas Special

This one isn't as popular as some of the others on this list, but my dad and I loved this growing up as kid! If you know who Garfield is, you'll love it too... I promise!

11) Annabelle's Wish

Another not so popular movie, but definitely worth the watch! What's cuter than a cow who wishes to be a reindeer?!

12) Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey

This movie made me so sad in the beginning, but every Christmas movie on this list has a good ending! See why!

13) Arthur's Perfect Christmas

If you grew up watching Arthur, you definitely remember this special! Feel the nostalgia with this one!

14) Olive the Other Reindeer

Not as famous as the other movies, but it's similar to Annabelle's Wish... except this is about a dog who wishes to be one of Santa's Reindeer's!

15) Elf

"Buddy the elf what's your favorite color?!"

16) Home Alone

I WISH my parent's accidentally forgot me as a kid. I'd have the time of my life!

17) A Christmas Story

Because on Christmas day, this marathons for a full 24 hours. "You'll shoot your eye out!"

18) It's a Wonderful Life

"Every time a bell rings, an angel gets it's wings"

19) The Polar Express

Is this a real train yet? Because I'm ready to buy my ticket after watching this movie!

20) The Nightmare Before Christmas

Is this a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie? I find it can be used for both occasions!

I could make a list of 50 movies but these are my top MUST see movies! So grab your blankets, a cup of coco and enjoy a nice Christmas movie marathon with your family or friends!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
