This Is What Christmas Movie You Should Watch, Based On Your Enneagram Type

Can't decide what to watch this holiday season? Look no further! I have created a list of fun and engaging Christmas movies based off your enneagram type. Even if you don't decide to choose the one picked for your enneagram, this list includes nine different holiday movies for you to enjoy. You can even recommend one to a family member or a friend if they're not sure what movie to watch themselves. Scroll on through the list, find your enneagram selected movie, grab a buddy within your household (we have to remember to be COVID-19 safe), turn on the Christmas tree lights, switch off the main lights, get some hot chocolate (and Christmas pajamas if you have them), then snuggle up and enjoy! Happy watching and happy holidays!

Type 1 - "Home Alone"

Giphy

Kevin accidentally gets left home while his family leaves on a trip to Paris. The only problem is that two bandits plan to rob his home. It's up to him to protect it. This film is great for type 1's because they can appreciate the excellent planning that went into Kevin's perfectly laid traps. If anyone were to come up with traps as good as those today, it would definitely be a type 1.

Type 2 - "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation"

Giphy

Clark Griswold wants nothing more than to give his family the best Christmas ever. Though he may have some hilarious fails along the way, Clark will stop at nothing to make Christmas memorable for his family. Type 2's will definitely relate to his self-sacrificing nature, as well as his desire to make his family's Christmas the best.

Type 3 - "The Santa Claus"

Giphy

All he wants is to spend some time with his kid and be a success at work. Unfortunately, his plans get a little switched when he suddenly becomes the new Santa. -- has to learn that while he strives to be successful, the true success comes from bringing joy to others and getting to spend time with his son. The Santa Claus is the perfect relaxing and fun movie for those hardworking type 3's.

Type 4 - "A Christmas Story"

Giphy

Ralphie wants nothing more than to convince everyone that he needs a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. While he is a bit self-absorbed in his efforts, it makes for a hilarious film that will have you rolling with laughter. 4's will see some similarities between themselves and Ralphie. As a result, they'll find the film that much more enjoyable.

Type 5 - "How The Grinch Stole Christmas"

Giphy

The Grinch himself is most likely a type 5. He remains in isolation all throughout his days, and he becomes preoccupied with his thoughts of hating Christmas. He ends up missing the true meaning of it all. Of course, he comes to realize that Christmas is about community. He overcomes his need for isolation in the end. Any "The Grinch" movie is fair-game for a type five, but I went with the live action option.

Type 6 - "The Polar Express"

Giphy

Every type 6 wants security and assurance. Though the trip to the North Pole is a scary one, the young boy's curiosity takes him on an adventure of a lifetime. Because seeing is believing, he is able to have the certainty in his mind in the end that Santa is real. Even as others grow old and forget, he never does.

Type 7 - "Elf"

Giphy

The holidays are a time for laughter and cheer (and singing loud for all to hear). There is nobody happier and more excited for the holidays than Buddy the Elf. Any type 7 will really be able to relate to this film and enjoy getting into the holiday spirit. Not to mention 7's are all for spontaneity, and there's nobody more spontaneous than Buddy.

Type 8 - "Christmas with the Kranks"

Luther decides that him and his wife Nora are going to skip Christmas this year and give themselves a much needed vacation because their daughter won't be home for the holidays. The hilarious ways Luther tries to avoid his neighbors and friends who question his plans completely emulates a type 8.

Type 9 - "A Charlie Brown Christmas"

Giphy

Charlie Brown wants nothing more than to have a great Christmas where everyone is happy. Type 9's can relate to this because like Charlie Brown, they are easy going and laid back. They want nothing more than to avoid conflict. While Charlie Brown does come across conflict often, his friends have always got his back and are there to help him celebrate the holidays.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
