Christmas time is one of the best times of the year because it is full of joy and giving. It is a time for pretty lights, white snow, holiday songs and giving and getting presents. Here are a couple of Christmas traditions as told by some of our favorite Christmas movies.

Looking for the perfect presents for people

There is stress and joy that comes with getting presents. The stress is the cost and getting something that you know the other person would like. The joy is the fun in buying people you love presents and coming up with ideas that people will love.

Struggling to wrap the presents

Wrapping the presents can be fun but also a hassle especially if you aren't really good at wrapping. As long as the present is covered and it has a name to who it belongs to, you're good because it is the thought that counts.

Looking for the perfect tree that will fit inside the house

Getting a Christmas tree is a very fun tradition. It can be a struggle to find a tree that will fit into the house. Once the tree is in the house and the 1,000 of ornaments you have are on, your tree will light up the house.

Watching all of the classic Christmas movies

All of the classic movies are a must during Christmas time. The classic movies like Charlie Brown, the Grinch and Rudolph. Get some popcorn and some candy canes and watch your favorite classics.

Putting up Christmas Lights

Putting up Christmas lights can be a chore but the way the house looks makes the house look very festive. Hopefully there aren't any bulbs that are out and please do not fall of the roof. Be careful but make your house shine with Christmas spirit.

Listening to Christmas music

During the month of December is the time to get your Christmas music out and listen away. It gets you in the holiday mood and is a perfect thing to listen to when making Christmas cookies or wrapping presents.

Anytime you think of hot chocolate, the song from polar express has most likely gotten in your head. Making Christmas cookies and drinking hot chocolate is a delicious Christmas tradition.

During Christmas there are a lot of different parties to go to. Friends and family are having their parties that you want to attend and so it is time to get your schedule ready.

Trying to find your outfit for all the Christmas parties and so you try on different outfits to see what you like best. Then there is also picking which outfits you are going to wear different days of your Christmas parties.

Hopefully you will have a White Christmas so then you can go sledding, snowball fighting and making snow angels. Winter can be cold and miserable sometimes but it also can be fun and pretty.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
