Christmas Break As Told By Your Favorite Holiday Movies

When you finish your last final and realize that you're free for a whole month:

When you walk through the door and see your dog for the first time:


When you finally get your hands on food that isn't from the dining hall:

And you finally get to sleep in your bed:

When you see your best friends for the first time in months:

And you make all these plans to hang out over Christmas break:


When in reality, you lie in bed all day and watch Christmas movies by yourself:


And when you do finally decide to celebrate the holidays with your friends:

When you hear "AlI Want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey come on the radio:
