This Is What Christmas Spirit Looks Like

THANKSGIVING IS OVER

THAT MEANS IT IS CHRISTMAS.

And if you're like me, you're probably wondering how you can get your full Christmas spirit on. (You might annoy some people, but hey, its CHRISTMAS TIME NOW.) So here are my tips to get the full expierence because some people need reminding what time of year it is. Some people just don't know, so please, spread the Christmas cheer.

Put lights up EVERYWHERE

Just cover every surface you can think of in lights.

Put up five different Christmas trees.

You obviously need one of every color and kind. Fake trees. Real trees. The fun doesn't end.

Constantly play and listen to nothing but Christmas music.

Scream it from the rooftops. Your neighbors won't mind.

Set up your Christmas village and throw fake snow everywhere all over your living quarters.

Your roommates and family won't mind. ITS CHRISTMAS.

Go see the Christmas light show near you every night and rate them with your friends.

Obviously, your friends have nothing better to do, so please, drag them along.

Wear nothing but red and green until New Years and Christmas sweaters.

Red and green obviously don't clash at all.

Buy all the wrapping paper and steal your roommates or family's things, wrap them up, and then give them back for Christmas.

They won't mind and will appreciate your thriftiness.

Just go home on the Christmas decorations actually.

CHRISTMAS EVERYWHERE.

Watch Elf. Be Buddy.

You have to admire his determination.

Watch Christmas movies all the time.

They make the Hallmark Christmas classics for a reason.


Remember now that it's Christmas time, we should all be festive. So feel free to come up with your own ways to spread the Christmas cheer. IT IS CHRISTMAS.

REPEAT.

IT IS CHRISTMAS.

IT IS CHRISTMAS.

CHRISTMAS.

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."

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!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows.
