3 Reasons Hallmark Movies Are the Best Part of the Holidays

During the holiday season people get excited for things like the food and music. And even though I enjoy those aspects of this season, I will forever be addicted to Hallmark movies. They are cheesy, cliche, and sometimes downright dumb. But these factors are what make the movies so irresistible. They all be predictable holiday romances, but I have three reason for why I love Hallmark movies.

1. Relationships Goals

Is the plot very unrealistic? Maybe.... but it still does make you feel all warm inside when you see the couple you have been rooting for share a special moment. I know that I a very sentimental person, but seeing these stories play out makes me want to be these characters. Even though my life may not become a reall\ life Hallmark movie, I will always wish for it every Christmas.

2. Comfort

There is just something so soothing about a Hallmark movie. The plots are so easy and simple that you can relax while enjoying one of these cliche movies. Plus, the spirit of Christmas that these movies preach only lifts your mood. You can never stay mad when watching a Hallmark movie. Whenever I'm having a bad time during the Holiday season, a Hallmark movie is the perfect cure.

3. Tradition

These movies have been going on for years. And every Christmas time I make it my mission to watch almost all of the new ones. This tradition is what makes my holiday season. They may be problematic, annoying or boring at times but it's the simple fact that I can always rely on them every year that makes them so special.

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.

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.

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.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
