Top Ten Christmas Movies To Watch This Year
History

It's that time of the year again where it is finally acceptable to watch Elf every single day if you want; it's Christmas time. The most wonderful time of the year is finally here and that means that Christmas movies are playing all day, everyday. From Freeform's (previously ABC Family) 25 Days of Christmas to the Hallmark Classics, here are my Top 10 favorite Christmas movies that you have to watch before the New Year!

1) The Santa Clause

By far my personal favorite, The Santa Clause is a classic and if you haven't seen it yet you should. The sequels to the original won't make this list, but if you want to check those out too they are worth the watch.

2) Elf

If you are a Will Ferrell fan then you have to see this movie. A comedy Christmas movie, you will laugh throughout the entirety of it and you'll also wish you had as much Christmas spirit as Buddy the Elf.

3) A Christmas Story

Another Christmas classic, this movie has been around for a while but there is a reason that it has been. If you haven't seen this movie, your chance is on Christmas Day whenever TBS plays the movie continuously all day long.

4) The Polar Express

Seeing is Believing in this movie. If you've lost your Christmas spirit, hop on the Polar Express and take a ride. After you've watched this movie you'll feel like a kid all over again.

5) Home Alone


Can you imagine being left at home on the holidays? Well that's what happens in this Christmas movie. It's funny and full of adventure and while this movie does take place at Christmas time, I feel like it, along with it's sequels, are acceptable to watch year-round.

6) National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

One of the best holiday movies to watch around this time of year, this movie will having you laughing nonstop throughout. Check this movie out, and then after you've watched the rest of the movies on this list make sure to check out the rest of the Lampoon Vacation movies.

7) The Holiday

After watching this movie, you'll be wanting to jet off and switch places with a random person for the holidays. One of my favorite movies to watch anytime, if you're looking for a romance movie to watch this year this is the one.

8) The Grinch

Who hasn't seen The Grinch? If you haven't seen it, just trust me and go watch it now.

9) Jingle All The Way

I had completely forgot about this movie until I was making this list however, this used to be my Christmas movie as a kid. It may not be as great as I remember seeing as it has been a long time since I've seen it, but I plan on watching again this year so hopefully it is still just as good.

10) Christmas Land

So I had to throw a Hallmark Movie in there because all of those are great, but this one is my favorite. Christmas Land will make you remember what getting in the Christmas spirit is all about.



Those are my Top 10 Christmas Movies that I think you should check out! I know that there are plenty more out there that I missed, and if you think I missed an important one comment below and tell me why it should have made the list! I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
