Ten Movies You Must Watch This Christmas!

History.com

Christmas is by far one of the best times of the year. I love getting to have time off from work and school to spend time with loved ones and to celebrate my main man Jesus Christ! One of my favorite things to do during the Christmas season is watching Christmas movies! Here I have compiled a list of my top ten favorite Christmas movies (in no particular order) that you MUST watch this year!

1. How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000, Jim Carrey Edition)

This is by far one of my favorite Jim Carrey movies. This is always one of the first movies I watch during the Christmas season, and I always make it a point to reference my mom as the Grinch while watching it.

2. Elf

“Santa! Oh, my God! Santa’s coming! I know him! I know him!” How could you not fall in love with Buddy the Elf? This light-hearted movie is sure to keep you smiling as you watch it. It's definitely one that we will make our own kids watch someday.

3. Annabelle's Wish

Okay, This is by far my all time favorite Christmas movie. It might quite possibly be my favorite movie ever. The heartwarming story of this little cow giving up her dreams to help her best friend will make you have all the feels! Oh, and let's not forget that Randy Travis narrates it, so, therefore, it's 100 times better tan any other movie.

4. Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer (1964)

This is one of the more classical Christmas movies I like to watch from my collection. I love watching Rudolph make his debut as Santa's leading reindeer, and hey, it's pretty cute when he tries to control his glowing nose.

5. Holiday in Handcuffs

For romantic comedies, this is by far my favorite one to watch at Christmas. I mean come on, who wouldn't want to steal Mario Lopez and force him to be your fake boyfriend for a week?

7. Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas

This movie is actually a collection of three stories all relating to your favorite Mickey Mouse characters. All three of these stories offer us an eye-opening message. It's great for kids, but also still warms my heart as I watch it even as an adult.

8. A Madea Christmas

Hellur! How could you not love a movie that includes both Madea and Larry The Cable Guy celebrating Christmas together?

9. A Smokey Mountain Christmas

Okay, I have, to be honest, I mainly like this movie because Dolly sings Hard Candy Christmas in it, which is one of my favorite Christmas songs, but the storyline is really great too.

10. A Charlie Brown Christmas

Does this one really need an explanation? Everyone knows how much of a classic this Christmas movie is and if you haven't watched it, don' worry, because it's sure to come on tv at least once during the Christmas season.

What are some of your favorite Christmas movies to watch?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
