Christmas Time is here again! The most wonderful time of the year NEVER fails to bring with it the best in movies, music, and family activities; whether it be decorating the Christmas tree with bows, ornaments, and lights,, exchanging gifts under the tree, or ice skating under the lights in Central Park!

10. It's A Wonderful Life

This Christmas Classic has ALWAYS brought joy to the Holiday Season for countless decades on end!

9. The Polar Express

The Polar Express always instills within every viewer a sense of believing in the power of Christmas- and of Santa, of course, and that special train ticket that would bring you to see him.

8. How The Grinch Stole Christmas

This one never gets old, no matter how many remakes it goes through! The live version, the cartoon, the 2018 version... Christmas Time just wouldn't be complete without our favorite lime-colored, fuzzy villain!

7. A Christmas Carol

An entertaining story with a great message, displaying to us the real reasons for the season.

6. A Christmas Story

An all-time classic, this comedy always makes me laugh.

5. The Year Without A Santa Claus

Cartoons never go out of style, especially the Christmas ones that always make me feel like a child again.

4. Prancer

Although it's not the most famous Christmas Classic, this 1989 film is inspiring, uplifting, and so dear to me. If you've never seen it, I completely recommend adding this one to your list of Must-See's this Holiday Season.

3. Miracle On 34th Street

Sweet Classics never go out of style.

2. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Quite possibly, one of the funniest Christmas movies there is. (Next to Elf, of course.) This film is timeless, exceeding its time in terms of humor, entertainment, and all-around good nature. It's hilarious from a 1989 viewpoint, and never fails to make modern families today burst out laughing, especially at parts like, "Look, kids, a deer!"

1. Elf

I must have watched this movie over at least fifty times over in the past couple of years, and I know it's every line word for word- but somehow, some way, it never fails to make me laugh and smile! Maybe it's Will Ferrell's raw and honest humor, or maybe it's Buddy The Elf's genuine sincerity and affinity for "Elf-Culture." Whatever it is, this movie isn't going away for a while and will be enjoyed by generations of humanity with "an affinity for Elf Culture" for a very long time.

As I 'wrap this up,' I would just like to wish every reader a very, very Merry Christmas. This is the busiest season of the year, but please don't forget to sit down, relax, and drink some hot cocoa while watching a Christmas Movie with your family- or better yet, go ride around the town looking at Christmas Lights. Whatever you do to celebrate the season, make sure you have a great time, make the most of your time with your loved ones, and remember the reason for the season- whatever that reason is for you.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
