Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)

This movie is such a Christmas classic. Even though a lot of the movie is sad, the ending warms your heart and shows you that you need to appreciate what you have in life.

A Christmas Story (1983)

One of my favorite things about Christmas day is AMC's 24-hour long marathon of Ralphie, his family, and "Oh Fuuudge..."

Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Home Alone (1990)

Being home alone without any parental supervision was every kid's dream.

Miracle on 34th Street (1947)

The best part about this movie is that it shows you that you need to have faith and believe, no matter how old you are. That and it's always funny to see Mr. Kringle give sass to the psychologist that thinks he's crazy.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)

Nothing says "Christmas" quite like a claymation movie.

A Charlie Brown Christmas

Not only is this movie great because of the amazing dance scene, but also because of Lionel's speech that reminds us what Christmas is really all about.

The Year Without a Santa Claus (1974)

The Heat Miser and Snow Miser are hands down the best part of this movie.

Santa Claus is Coming to Town (1970)

This movie is cool because you get to see the back story behind Santa and where all of his traditions come from. But watch out for Burgermeister Meisterburger!

The Polar Express (2004)

This was my favorite Christmas book when I was growing up and I remember being so excited when they turned it into a movie. It will always remind me to believe, even when I can't see it.

The Santa Clause (1994)

"Does this look like a little weight to you? - after you eat Thanksgiving dinner

Frosty the Snowman (1969)

I still don't understand why he says this after coming back to life, but whenever I wish someone a happy birthday, I hear Frosty's voice in my head.

A Christmas Carol (1992)

[Screams Internally]. While every version of this movie is worth watching, the muppet version tops them all.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)

Squirrels, fire, annoying neighbors, and kidnapping are just a part of a typical Christmas for the Griswald's.

Elf (2003)

If you think that this movie wouldn't be on the list, "you sit on a throne of lies" and you're a "cotton-headed ninny-muggins."

No matter how you spend your holidays, I hope it is filled with your loved ones and happiness (and lots of good food). So sit back, relax, turn on these movies, and approach the holiday season with me.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
