Christmas is a magical time of year. Holiday lights are popping up in towns, tree lightings are happening, and Christmas movies and television specials are constantly on TV. There are so many great Christmas movies and shows, like "Elf", "The Polar Express", "A Year Without a Santa Claus", and "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer". But there are a few movies that I absolutely love that are not given enough TV time.

Here is my list of Christmas movies that deserve more recognition.

1. "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"

Based off the classic Christmas song "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer", this TV special follows a young boy, named Jake Spankenheimer, who is on a mission to find his missing grandmother who he claims have been run over by Santa's reindeer. Meanwhile, his money-hungry Cousin Mel takes advantage of Grandma's disappearance to sell the family business and ends up putting Santa Claus on trial!

2. "Buster & Chauncey's Silent Night"

This movie follows two storylines. The first one is about two mice and their adventures in Oberndorf. With the Queen arriving shortly, Buster's only desire is to play for the Queen and to make a lot of money, whereas Chauncey just wants to make music for enjoyment.

The second storyline is about an orphan girl named Christina. She is asked to stay in the church for the holiday season, and during her stay, two thieves show up claiming to be apart of the Queen's security. Christina soon finds herself to be the scapegoat of the thieves' wrongful deeds. The two plots eventually join together and, with the help of Buster and Chauncey, everything works out in the end.

3. "Annabelle's Wish"

In "Annabelle's Wish", all the animals on the farm get one night to be able to talk because of Santa's magic. Annabelle, a cow, mentions that she wants to be a reindeer when she grows up, so she holds onto that wish. She soon befriends a mute boy named Billy and realizes that maybe she wants more in life than to be a reindeer. This movie shows how the magic of Christmas and friendship can lead to wonderful things.

4. "Twas the Night Before Christmas"

Santa Claus sends all the mail he got from Junctionville this holiday season back to them because he received a letter from someone in this town claiming that he does not exist. Upset by this, a clock-maker makes their town clock play music so that Santa does not pass them by this Christmas Eve. The clock breaks because Albert, the mouse, wanted to see how it worked. Confessing all of his mistakes, Albert tries to repair the clock, but fails to fix it by the deadline, so will Santa even come to Junctionville this year?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
