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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
