5 Must-Watch Christmas Movies During The Break
Den of Geek

Happy almost Christmas (and last days of finals)! Lately, people have been asking what Christmas movies are worth watching during the holidays. I grew up watching Christmas movies and there's a bunch of them. However, I wanted to share my top 5 favorite movies:

1. Home Alone 2

I love, love, love Home Alone (part 2 specifically). No matter how many times I watch it, it still makes me fall off my seat from laughing.

2. Polar Express

I just watched this movie again and it really got me in the Christmas spirit. It's heartwarming, sweet, and wonderful.

3. Elf

This movie is more fitting to grown-ups. It's a Christmas comedy that is goofy and sweet-natured.

4. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

This movie was very delightful to watch. Although I still can't stand the Grinch's face, some of you may be fond of this movie.

5. A Christmas Carol

I showed this movie to little kids when I worked for AmeriCorps back in high school and I truly admired the plot. Plenty of lessons to learn in this movie.

I hope you all enjoy your winter break!

Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
