12 Christmas Moments that Christmas Movies Got Right

Christmas movies range from the heart felt Hallmarks to classics made in the 1970s to holiday comedies.

A Christmas Story, A Christmas Vacation, and Christmas with the Kranks are a few of my favorite Christmas movies and found moments in each that are pretty relatable. Here are 12 of them.


1. "I can't put my arms down!"

Winters can be brutally cold in the northeast which means you have to bundle up. We can thank the iconic "I can't put my arms down!" in A Christmas Story. It takes us back down memory lane to when we were kids where we were forced to wear those horrible puffy winter suits.


2. Nature's slip and slide

Yeah, I'll admit it, ice has gotten the better of me multiple times. You're lying if you said it hasn't and I may be gullible, but no, I'm not going to believe you.


3. Thank god, we finally found the tree

Finding the Christmas Tree

Let's face it, finding the tree is a ton of fun but it can get cold. By the end, when you once thought you'd never find that perfect tree for the year, you've done it. Congratulations! Cut that tree down and go put it up!


4. Let the branches go

Okay, so maybe it's not as dramatized as it was with the Griswolds, but nonetheless it's still pretty bad. We've done it multiple times in my family and thankfully, no windows were broken...yet.


5. You get sap! And you get sap! And you get sap!

Sap

Trees are sappy. Get use to it. Accept it. Love it. Because it's not going anywhere!


6. Hey, what's that in the tr--?

We've all had that Christmas where we accidentally brought too much nature into the house.


7. Trees are a beast in their own

Something always goes wrong with the tree. The star is crooked, the tree falls over, cats attack it. You just have to make the most of it.


8. Risking your life on the roof for Frosty

Okay, maybe it's not exactly a Frosty decoration you're putting on your roof like the Kranks but you probably have something and you're probably risking your life to put them up.


9. Some Santas are scary.

Yes, when I was little, I cried when I visited a Santa. Everyone has at least once, yes, even you.


10. Stress snowballs

Stress. It's inevitable. There's too much to do and not enough time to do it. You just have to keep on, keeping on.


11. The dreaded pink bunny suit

Ralphie and the Pink Bunny Suit

Everyone has that dreaded pink bunny suit. No, it may not literally be a bunny suit but it's always something. We can't help it and don't even try to deny it.


12. And that's a wrap

Now that the stress and the hustle and bustle have come and gone, sit back and just relax until the New Year. You guys deserve it. And yes, that pun was most definitely intended.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
