5 Things That Go Through My Head While Watching Christmas Movies

Since it is officially Christmas time, that means "25 Days Of Christmas" begins on ABC Family. It is one of the things I look forward to in December and when they release the schedule, I literally jump for joy. As I have grow older I have somehow managed to get more and more excited. While watching these various movies, many things run through my head. Here are a few things that constantly go through my head while watching Christmas movies.

1. OMG, it's actually Christmas!

The fact that Christmas movies are finally playing just puts me into the Christmas mood. We have waited all year for this and the fact that it is actually here gets me so excited yet anxious because it is crunch time to buy gifts for your friends, family and significant others.

2. This is my favorite part.

If you are like me, you have seen almost every Christmas movie possible. Although you have seen the movies way more times then you should have, no matter what happens you will always love certain parts of the movie. For me, I can basically say every part of the movie "Elf" due to the simple fact that it is the greatest!

3. I want to be a kid again.

When most of the old cartoon Christmas movies come one, it brings back a flood of memories. I wish I could be a kid again and have the same excitement I had waking up on Christmas morning. Don't get me wrong, I still get excited but not as much as I used to when I was little. I literally could not sleep on Christmas Eve and now I have no problem because sleep is something I should have never taken for granted.

4. I wish it would snow here.

Since I live in the South, snow is very uncommon. I would love to get up on Christmas morning and have snow covering the ground, but I know that is a one in a million chance. As I watch the various Christmas movies, they all show snow in some way and it makes me yearn for the snow basically every day of December.

5. OMG, it is Christmas!

Yes, this goes through my head most of the time during Christmas movies because I seriously cannot believe after waiting all year, my favorite time of year is here. I am going to take in every moment and watch possibly every Christmas movie I can to get in the Christmas spirit because Christmas is the best!

I am so thankful for ABC Family playing all of my favorite Christmas movies and helping me get in the holiday spirit. Whether I am watching them by myself, surrounded by friends or surrounded by family, I know that these few things will always cross my mind at some point.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
