9 Christmas Movies You Have To Watch This Holiday Season

YouTube HollywoodStreams

Thanksgiving has quickly come and gone and now the one thing on everyone's mind is Christmas. The happiest time of the year. One of my favorite parts about Christmas are the holiday movies. Whether you're a 25 Days of Christmas fan or more of a Hallmark Christmas Classics lover, these are a few holiday movies you have to check out this season.

1. A Christmas Story

A Christmas classic. The pink bunny suit, the leg lamp, the bebe gun. A must see for sure.

2. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Christmas can't come around my house until we've watched this movie. Seriously, one of the funniest shows.

3. Elf

"Bye Buddy, I hope you find your dad." "Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?" "You sit on a throne of lies."

4. Home Alone

Home Alone isn't one of those movies that I just have to see every year, but it's definitely a good watch and a heartwarming story to get you in the Christmas spirit.

5. Christmas with the Kranks

Another laugh out loud movie. Christmas with the Kranks is sure to get the whole family laughing.

6. Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas

What more is there to say? The Grinch is a staple that Christmas is here.

7. The Holiday

I've only seen this movie a couple times, but it was a heartwarming story about love and family during Christmastime. I would recommend it. Stars Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black

8. It's A Wonderful Life

"Every time a bell rings an angel gets its wings." The sweetest Christmas classic of all time. If you haven't seen this movie. Get your family together this year and watch it. You'll be glad you did.

9. Holiday in Handcuffs

Personally, my favorite. This movie is seriously hysterical and it has the sweetest ending. You can always find it on the ABC 25 Days of Christmas schedule. Plus, it stars Mario Lopez, which is a plus in my book.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.

15. “Let’s set each other’s lonely nights, Be each other’s paradise.”

16. “Trippin’ on skies, sippin’ waterfalls."

17. “Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days.”

18. “But you will remember me for centuries.”

19. “Something about you makes me feel like a dangerous woman."

20. “Don’t act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me.”

21. “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”

22. “Find me where the wild things are.”

23. “I’m high on lovin’ you.”

24. “If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak, somebody’s mistake, if you’re gonna be somebody’s first time, somebody’s last time, be mine.”

25. “Don’t be afraid to take the road less traveled on.”

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

1. "Talk about a dream Try to make it real You wake up in the night With a fear so real Spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)

2. "It's a town full of losers/ I'm pulling out of here to win" (Thunder Road)

3. "You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above" (Tunnel of Love)

4. "I got something in my heart/ I been waitin' to give/ I got a life I wanna start/ One I been waitin' to live" (Leah)

5. “God have mercy on the man/ Who doubts what he’s sure of” (Brilliant Disguise)

7. “Is a dream a lie when it don’t come true, or is it something worse?” (The River)
