Christmas time is one of the best times of the year because it is full of joy and giving. It is a time for pretty lights, white snow, holiday songs and giving and getting presents. Here are a couple of Christmas traditions as told by some of our favorite Christmas movies.

Looking for the perfect presents for people

There is stress and joy that comes with getting presents. The stress is the cost and getting something that you know the other person would like. The joy is the fun in buying people you love presents and coming up with ideas that people will love.

Struggling to wrap the presents

Wrapping the presents can be fun but also a hassle especially if you aren't really good at wrapping. As long as the present is covered and it has a name to who it belongs to, you're good because it is the thought that counts.

Looking for the perfect tree that will fit inside the house

Getting a Christmas tree is a very fun tradition. It can be a struggle to find a tree that will fit into the house. Once the tree is in the house and the 1,000 of ornaments you have are on, your tree will light up the house.

Watching all of the classic Christmas movies

Putting up Christmas lights can be a chore but the way the house looks makes the house look very festive. Hopefully there aren't any bulbs that are out and please do not fall of the roof. Be careful but make your house shine with Christmas spirit.

Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
