There's two kinds of humans when it comes to Christmas. The one's that are absolutely obsessed with the holiday and that one's that roll their eyes at the people obsessed with the holiday. However, whichever side of the spectrum you may be, I think we can all agree we were die-hard fans of Christmas movies as kids. So here are the top 10 Christmas movies that may lead you to doing a little reminiscing about your childhood (and hey, that may even help you get into that holiday spirit):


1. The Grinch.

Who would I be if I didn't put this as number one? We all find ourselves still making references to this movie today. It was the perfect movie at age 5, and still is the perfect movie today. It's heartwarming and hilarious all at the same time, and features some pretty great songs. I may or may not be singing "Where Are You Christmas" by Faith Hill right now.

2. Jack Frost.

You can't not love this movie. It has every aspect of love, family and comedy. It also features a fantastical element as Jack comes back to life as a snowman. It's just great okay.

3. The Santa Clause.

First off, Tim Allen. His acting is always fabulous and even though I probably didn't know his name as a kid, I sure do now. Watching Allen have to become the new Santa Clause and complete all the Christmas deliveries with his son is just incredible. Basically, something in which any of us kids would have dreamed of doing.

4. Home Alone.

The ultimate Christmas classic in which the character of Kevin McCallister was basically our hero. I could watch Kevin try to take down some robbers any day. Even Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is just as good.

5. Elf

A grown man as an elf whose two main food groups consist of candy and syrup, and whose favorite line is, "Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?" That's about all I have to say. The movie speaks for itself.

6. A Christmas Story.

Though its release was in 1983, this Christmas movie has still yet to get off everyone's radar. This was the film that taught me not to stick my tongue to an icy telephone poll, and also that I never desired to wear a pink bunny suite. Also, maybe that Ralphie was my spirit animal...

7. The Nightmare Before Christmas.

I'd say this movie has been always fitting for my two favorite holidays, both Halloween and Christmas. As kids, I'd say we were guilty of watching it for both occasions.

8. Christmas with the Kranks.

Both a Christmas disaster and a Christmas miracle. This movie is both hilarious and tender hearted at the same time. And once again...Tim Allen.

9. The Polar Express.

This movie was like a magical journey into another dimension where Christmas was everything and more. As a kid, I felt like I was along for the ride on the Polar Express myself.

10. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

The musicals, the characters, this movie is all around a family favorite. And how can you resist singing "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer?" Whether it be the classic version or the many remixed ones.


So now that I have you experiencing some serious nostalgia, I hope you'll enjoy some hot coco while you're snuggled up in a million blankets watching some of these amazing Christmas movies.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
