Christmas break is finally here! Finals are over and you can finally take some much needed time to relax. One movie that I find myself watching time and time again over the break is "Elf". And Buddy the Elf seems to have a pretty accurate description of how Christmas break goes. Here is Christmas break as told by Buddy the Elf:
Leaving your last final like
Finals are finally over and you can not wait to run out that door and be free from school.
Saying goodbye to your friends for the next month and a half
It is hard to spend so much time apart from people you see every day, but hey your home friends need some love too.
Helping your family decorate the house
The more decorations,the merrier!
Working at your seasonal job to save your dying bank account
And wondering how some people could work the job that you do on break year-round.
Greeting your pets who you have not seen for months
There may be some hard feelings, but do not worry they will be back to loving you soon enough.
Indulging in some holiday treats
Because you do not even remember what a homemade cookie tastes like at this point. Dining hall food is just not the same as home-cooking.
Filling your family and friends in on how your life has been
And trying to casually make it seem like it has not been as much of a mess as it actually has been.
Braving the mall to go Christmas shopping
Because you waited until the last possible second to do your Christmas shopping as per usual. Maybe next year you will remember to start before Christmas Eve.
Sneaking candy so no one judges you for your unhealthy eating habits
Yes, I do need to eat a bag of Sour Patch Kids at 2 A.M. My mom will never see the wrappers in the trash can.
Finding any excuse to talk about Christmas
I mean hey, it is the most wonderful time of the year after all! Keep spreading holiday cheer wherever you go.
Opening presents on Christmas morning
Aw for me? You shouldn't have! Best day ever!
Getting overly excited when people open the gifts you got them
And awkwardly smiling at them the whole time.
Thanking your family and friends for the gifts
No matter what they got you, it is the thought that counts so remember to thank them.
Coming to the realization that Christmas break is over and it is time to head back to school
Remember Christmas break only comes once a year, so enjoy it! Because before you know it you will be back at school learning once again. Take some time to relax and enjoy yourself. And remember "The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear." Happy Holidays!
