The holiday season is a special time for many different reasons. Christmas music is on the radio all the time, lights are everywhere, stores are packed. It's no secret that the holidays are a big deal. But what is the best part of the holidays? These are my favorite things the holidays have to offer.

Christmas Specials

Whether it be "A Charlie Brown Christmas", "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer", or special Christmas episodes of your favorite sitcom, Christmas specials are an iconic part of the holiday season. If you watch a show in December, chances are, it'll be a Christmas episode. I don't know what it is about Christmas specials, but something is just so comforting about them.

Christmas Flavors

I know that's an odd way to word it, but there are a lot of flavors that come along with Christmas. Just like Thanksgiving brings us pumpkin spice, Christmas brings us peppermint, chocolate and cinnamon. All through December, people everywhere are drinking hot chocolate, peppermint mochas and eggnog. These flavors help make Christmas special. Now pass me the peppermint bark.

Christmas Music

Arguably the most popular way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear (I couldn't help myself). Christmas music has a life of its own, and every December, radio stations play it loud and proud, 24/7. Speaking for most people, you can't help but listen to the classics: "White Christmas", "Frosty the Snowman", "Twelve Days of Christmas", "Silent Night" and all the other famous hymns and carols. Speaking for myself, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Mannheim Steamroller are necessities.


Christmas Spirit

The main thing everyone notices during Christmas. Everything listed before this comes together to make Christmas Spirit. There's joy and happiness in the air, with every carol we sing and every candy cane we eat. There's just something about Christmas that fills everyone with joy.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
