11 Movies To Watch This Holiday Season
popsugar

From Elf quotes to fuzzy little monsters, these movies will help you pass the time until the big day you've been waiting for. Just make sure you don't turn into a Grinch while waiting for it to arrive. Instead, just sit back, relax, and drink a nice big cup of "hot, hot, hot. hot cho-co-late!" - Polar Express.


1. Home Alone.

These movies always made me think about why his parents continuously left him home alone year after year, even though this kept happening. Fortunately, this kid has an endless pit of ideas that keep him safe each and every year.

2. Elf.


Can't we all be as excited as Buddy is when we see Santa? Or at least know that Christmas is slowly approaching? Well, maybe we don't have to be as excited as Buddy is, but we can at least show a little bit of excitement and enthusiasm on the approaching days and not just the day of.

3. Bad Santa.

Remember, just because you're a mall Santa, doesn't mean you're immediately going to go on the nice list. You need to play the part as well, unlike Mr. Thorton here.

5. The Polar Express.

Does the bell still ring for you? If it doesn't I suggest taking some time to watch this movie, so you'll start to "truly believe".

6. Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

"Then one foggy Christmas eve, Santa came to say. Rudolf with your nose so bright, won't you guide my sleigh tonight?" - Gene Autry

7. The Santa Clause.

Unless you want to end up being Santa Claus like Tim Burton. Just let that noise you hear on your roof late on Christmas eve be. Cause if you don't, you'll be in for a nice surprise.

8. A Christmas Story.

Remember when mom always said "You'll shoot your eye out" if you get that bb-gun? Well, how do we know if that'll happen if we don't get it?

9. Eight Crazy Nights.


"Hanukkah is the festival of lights, instead of one day of presents we get eight crazy nights" - Adam Sandler. We have to remember that this holiday season isn't just about Christmas. Even though there are tons of movies leaning that way, Adam Sandler felt like a movie about Hanukkah was very much needed.

10. Unaccompanied minors.

For those of you who travel to other parts of your family during the holidays, you've probably experienced this once or twice. Well, maybe not to the extent of these guys, but you know what I mean.

11. Dr. Seuss's: How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

"Maybe Christmas." the Grinch thought "doesn't come from a store, maybe Christmas" ...perhaps... "means a little bit more" - Dr. Seuss. Enjoy your holiday season, be with family and friends, and don't be a Grinch.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
