Christmas: the time of giving and getting. The time of being with friends and family. It’s the time for people to cook Christmas cookies and kiss under the mistletoe. It’s time to sit by the fire and exchange gifts. It’s also the time for Christmas movies to come back on regular television. Christmas movies are the best way to get everyone together and to be merry with your family. This is my list of the top 5 Christmas movies.

5. A Christmas Story

There is no better way to start off your Christmas season than with the classic Christmas Story. It is filled with laughter and Christmas joy that will bring everyone together. The main purpose of this holiday movie is to follow Ralphie and his family on their quest to get a Red Ryder BB gun. The movie is filled with Ralphie facing everything from bullies to parents just not understanding him. This movie is a must watch for the Christmas season.

4. Elf

Will Ferrell brings holiday comedy and a heartwarming story together in Elf. If you haven’t seen Elf, then go to your nearest Redbox and rent it today. This movie will put you in the holiday spirit and make you believe in the magic of Santa. Elf follows Buddy, played by Will Ferrell, who is a human raised by elves in the north pole. After learning that he is a human, Buddy sets out to find his actual father in the city of New York. Along the way he runs into nonbelievers of Santa, and is determined to win his father over with the Christmas spirit. This movie is a classic Christmas movie.

3. The Polar Express

The Polar Express is one of the best Christmas movies that has come out in recent years. Not only does the animation make the movie a must watch, but the Christmas spirit captured in the movie makes it even better. Having a train roll up to your house and bring you to the North Pole is every child’s dream. The Polar Express is about a boy that is having a hard time believing in Santa Claus, but soon finds his belief after a train takes him and other kids to the north pole. This is a must watch for anyone and everyone.

2. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

This is a classic Christmas movie that captures humor and holiday joy into one movie. The National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation makes bringing the family together even easier. This movie is about the Griswold family and their holiday adventures. Whether it’s having cousin Eddie unexpectedly showing up at their house or having the millions of Christmas lights not come on, the Griswold’s are always facing some hilarious struggle. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is a perfect movie for the holiday season.

1. White Christmas

White Christmas is one of the most classic Christmas movies there is. Featuring Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye, the movie is filled with some of the most classic Christmas songs that are still popular today. White Christmas follows four singers to a small motel where they plan a huge Christmas pageant. The movie is perfect in every way and needs to be watched during the holiday season.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college 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.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
