Top 10 Christmas Movies to Put You in the Holiday Spirit

Freeform's (ABC's) 25 Days of Christmas is iconic and loved by many. With the holiday's approaching fast, children and adults alike turn to the beloved Christmas and holiday movies that play each night. These movies bring about the feelings of family, togetherness, love and joy. Adults revert back to their childhood selves and begin to remember their own holiday memories and traditions, and try to instill these beliefs into their own children's lives. These movies are part of the reason why this is the most wonderful time of the year.

1. Elf

It's not surprising that this movie has ended up on this list. Most people can quote this movie word for word. Buddy the Elf will have you laughing until the very end when everyone joins in singing Christmas carols, and you'll realize the power holiday cheer has on you and everyone around you.

2. The Santa Clause

This movie is loved by people of all ages. The series is full of wonderful surprises, and allows a child's belief in Santa Claus to go much further when his dad truly becomes Santa. A must watch each holiday season.

3. Home Alone


This classic movie is loved by everyone. It is a movie that can be seen as deep and meaningful, but is also lighthearted and funny for the holiday season. You can watch this movie over and over again, it never gets old.

4. Love Actually


This movie makes people remember that love is all around us, even when we don't think it is. It is just waiting to be seen and brought into your life. Through the stories of many people and the different lives they live, it is easy to see almost every type of love that exists.

5. How the Grinch Stole Christmas


In my family, watching this movie has become a Christmas Eve tradition that we all look forward to each year. The Grinch, a strange, and unique but lovable character has wiggled his way into our hearts and has become a cherished memory for all of us.

6. Miracle on 34th Street

This movie is loved by both children and adults. It is sentimental, but also a feel-good movie that is full of holiday cheer. If this isn't on your Christmas movie list, it should be.

7. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

This movie, though made for children displays a concept that should be employed by all. Equality, fair treatment and love. Rudolph is a classic example of the underdog rising to the challenge and proving all of his naysayers wrong.

8. Frosty the Snowman

Frosty is a character that beyond all is shows love and compassion. Not only does he explicitly spread holiday cheer, but he also loves the children he spends his time with and would do anything for them. Frosty is a true friend.

9. The Polar Express

The story tells of unparalleled belief and where that can take you in life. If you believe please board the polar express.

10. It's A Wonderful Life

A classic second chance story that is filled with Christmas spirit, and love that shines bright. This movie is heartfelt, feel-good, and beautiful. A story for the ages.

Happy watching! Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

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.

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.
