The holidays are approaching and excitement is in the air. As finals are being taken and the stresses of college are wearing down, the holidays are something that everyone can look foward to. As Buddy the elf would say, "the best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear". This is getting ready for Christmas, as told by our favorite elf:

1. Decorating the tree

The excitement of putting on decorations on the tree never gets old, no matter how old you get.

2. When someone tries to tell you Santa isn't real

You tell them to walk out of your life for the time being because you don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

3. Planning out the perfect Christmas day

4. Staying in the Christmas spirit all through December

Always got to keep your head up high during the holidays. Don't let anyone have you feeling down during the most wonderful time of the year.

5. Mentally preparing yourself the few days before Christmas

It's okay to freak out a bit, you've been waiting all year for this day.

6. Eat all the sweets you want

Don't be so worried about the summer body just yet, it's the holidays you should be able to eat whatever you want.

7. Enjoy Christmas day with your friends and family

Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year because you get to spend time around all of your loved ones. Especially for college students, coming home to their family and being surrounded by love and happiness during the holidays is something that is much needed after a semester full of stress.
