10 Reasons to Love Christmas as Told by Christmas Vacation

1. Decorating.

Being in a college dorm does not stop me from decorating. I love putting up Christmas lights and my fake tree. It’s relaxing to sit in my room with the Christmas lights on and watch a holiday movie and drink hot chocolate. Hopefully I don’t have too many extension cords!

2. Christmas Movies.

There’s too many to choose a favorite, but you can catch me watching them at all times. They boost my mood and make me happy and excited to spend time with my family.

3. Snow.

Although I am not a huge fan of the snow, I love to go snowboarding, tubing, and sledding and snow gets me into the holiday season. Snow is one of the best reminders that it is the holiday time, and makes me feel less guilty for listening to Christmas music on November 1st.

4. Christmas Music.

My motto is it’s never too early to listen to Christmas music. No one is really a fan of my singing, but Christmas music must be sung. My neighbors may judge me, but I do not care and I am spreading Christmas cheer.

5. Buying presents for friends and family.

I love seeing the look on my loved ones faces when they open a present and they love it. I love being able to buy something for my parents after all they have done for me.

6. Family time.

I love seeing all my cousins, aunts, and uncles that I only get to see for holidays. I love laughing and having a great time with them and catching up on life.

7. Christmas Drinks.

I love hot chocolate, although I drink it year round. It makes me feel better during Christmas time. Peppermint drinks are also delicious and adding a candy cane makes it perfect.

8. Christmas food.

I love having food, especially on holidays. There is so much of it; it’s warm and it fills me up, especially the dessert.

9. Chaos.

As soon as everyone gets there, you are getting a hug every second and I love it. I love seeing everyone so happy to see each other. Once everyone is settled in, the kids are all loud and talking over each other. It’s amazing.

10. Entertainment.

The best part is laughing with everyone. Whether it be someone tripping over a glass table, saying something stupid, or a silly game, it’s always fun.



Have a Happy Griswold Family Christmas!!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
