Celebrating Christmas As Told By Your Favorite Christmas Movies

In This Article:

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.

Realizing you have many Christmas parties to go to

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.

Getting ready for all the Christmas parties

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.

Going sledding and snowball fighting

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.

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.
