I am fully convinced that 2020 will be a year recorded in every textbook that is to come in the future. Besides surviving a global pandemic, spending a year of my college experience quarantined, online, and away from friends, I still think that 2020 was a year that taught me many things. I am taking the bad with the good, and instead of simply complaining about the weirdness and burden 2020 caused for everyone globally, I am going to take this year as a lesson.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
