Christmas Movies You Should Watch Right Now

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

Christmas Movies You Should Watch Right Now
Huffington Post

Every Christmas one of my favorite things to do is sit down and watch the Christmas movie specials on television. I'm not talking about the cheesy Lifetime movies, I'm talking about the Christmas movies I've spent my entire life watching. There are just some movies every person should watch, so I've decided to name some of my favorites so everyone else can sit down with their family to watch them!

1. "Elf"


The hilarious movie about Buddy the Elf, who leaves the North Pole in search of his biological father in New York. You get to follow buddy around as he adjusts to the American life and you learn a lot of great one-liners to work into your daily conversations.

2. "A Christmas Story"


The Christmas movie every child should watch and learn to love. Ralphie endures the pain of wanting a gift so much and constantly being told he can't have it. The Parker family definitely has their quirks and it'll make the whole family laugh.

3. "Home Alone"


Kevin McCallister lives every child's dream: a huge house to themselves. That is until he has to fend off robbers by himself, good thing he has a few tricks up his sleeve.

4. "The Santa Clause"


Once upon a time I owned this movie on VHS and I wish I knew where it was because I lived on this movie as a kid (good news, it was just added to Netflix!). Scott Calvin accidentally scares Santa off the roof and quite possibly kills Santa Claus. He and his son Charlie then get to learn the ropes of the North Pole when Scott must become Santa Claus. Save yourself the hassle, just watch the whole trilogy right in a row!

5. "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation"


This movie is on repeat at my house during the Christmas season. Clark Griswold is sure to make the whole family laugh as he puts up with the crazy antics of his own dysfunctional family.

6. "Miracle on 34th Street"


This one is definitely a classic and it is one of my favorites because it is a heart-warming Christmas story. The new Macy's Santa Claus just might possibly be the real Santa and he must prove the spirit of Christmas is still alive.

7. "A Charlie Brown Christmas"


I don't care if you're 5 or 100, this is a classic, and it might make you appreciate your drooping Christmas tree just a little more.

8. " Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas"


When the Grinch sets out to destroy Whoville Christmas, you might be torn deciding if you're more like the Grinch or Cindy Lou Who. Plus the dog Max makes an adorable reindeer.

9. "The Family Stone"


Strictly including this because my mom loves this movie, and strangely enough her playing it enough made me like it too. It is a dysfunctional family trying to make it through the holidays, we can all relate.

10. "Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer"


One word: adorable.

11. "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of Misfit Toys"


I feel like I'm the only one who likes this one....but come on, Rudolph saves the day!\

I probably missed a few great Christmas movies, but make sure to make time to sit down and watch a few of these this holiday season!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
