13 Movies You Watched Growing Up In The Early 2000's
Disney Channel

Some of my most favorite movies come from my childhood. From "The Parent Trap" to "High School Musical" to "Mean Girls", these are just a few of the movies that never get old to me. I can sing just about every song from "High School Musical" word for word. I have successfully learned how to perform the "Jingle Bell Rock" dance from "Mean Girls". Watching these movies with my friends growing up are some of my favorite memories from my childhood. When I watch these movies today, I fell like a kid again. Here are 13 movies I loved watching growing up, and I am sure I am not the only one who watched these movies.

1. "The Parent Trap"

Giphy

Two things went through your head while watching this: the fact that Lindsey Lohan was able to pull off playing twins and how long it took for Nick Parker and Elizabeth James to realize their girls switched places on them.

2. "Mean Girls"

Every time you would watch this, you would try your very best to nail the "Jingle Bell Rock" dance. The dance is so fetch.

3. "The Cheetah Girls"

Giphy

The soundtrack from this movie was the BEST. Jam sessions with your friends in elementary school were not complete until you all danced to the Cheetah Girls.

4. "High School Musical"

Giphy

After all these years, you can still sing every song word to word from this movie.

5. "Camp Rock"

Lets be honest, the only reason you watched this movie was because of the Jonas Brothers.

6. "It Takes Two"

No matter how old you get, you will always HATE Clarice Kensington. Also, you will never be able tell Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen apart in this movie.

7. "Cheaper by the Dozen"

media.giphy.com

This is the best feel good movie ever. Also, I will never understand how they managed to keep 12 kids under control (most of the time).

8. "Shrek"

media.giphy.com

Shrek and Donkey, name a better duo.

9. "The Princess Diaries"

media.giphy.com

"A princess? SHUT UP."

10. "Freaky Friday"

25.media.tumblr.com

We all wanted to be Jamie Lee Curtis while she was riding the motorcycle with Chad Micheal Murray.

11. "She's the Man"

media.giphy.com

I will never understand how Violet attended an all-boys school for so long, impersonating her brother, and no one ever noticed she was a girl.

12. "The Lizzie McGuire Movie"

media.giphy.com

The end performance to "This Is What Dreams Are Made Of" is for sure the best part.

13. "Matilda"

media.giphy.com

Admit it, you tried so hard to move things with your mind after watching this movie.

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!
