Now that Thanksgiving is over, you can finally celebrate Christmas in full force without receiving judgment from your peers. With Christmas just under a month away, here are eight Christmas episodes to add to your watchlist that will certainly put you in the spirit!

1. "A Charlie Brown Christmas"

This 1965 animated special is perhaps one of the most notable Christmas episodes. Despite the holiday cheer that surrounds him, Charlie has a case of the blues. In an effort to cure them, he follows Lucy’s advice to direct the Christmas play. However, this seems to backfire as he faces criticism from his peers over the less than ideal Christmas tree he chooses.

Then, with the help of his friend Linus, Charlie discovers the true meaning of Christmas and is able to celebrate the holiday with all of his friends.

2. "The One With the Holiday Armadillo" Friends (Season 7)


Ross attempts to teach Ben about Hanukkah, which leads to Ross dressing up as an armadillo, Chandler as Santa Claus, and Joey as Superman. Simultaneously, Phoebe attempts to pit Joey and Rachel against each other in hopes of Rachel moving back in with her.

3. “I’m Scheming a White Christmas” Home Improvement (Season 2)


In this episode, Tim goes all out to decorate his house from Christmas while Brad and Randy decide to keep part of the money they have been collecting for charity for themselves. Once caught, they are forced to own up to their mistakes and realize how selfish they have been, prompting them to give more.

4. "Our Very First Christmas Show" Full House (Season 2)

While heading home on Christmas Eve, things go awry when the Tanner family gets snowed in at the airport. Stephanie worries that Santa will not be able to find them, but their spirits are lifted with their own Christmas miracle.

5. "Christmas Party" The Office (Season 2)


During the office Christmas party, Michael decides to do a last minute "Yankee Swap" of gifts when he is unhappy with the gift he receives from Phyllis. This results in Jim's sentimental teapot gift for Pam ending up in the hands of Dwight, causing Jim to panic. However, Pam recognizes Jim's gesture and trades her iPod for the teapot.

6. "Christmas Story" The Andy Griffith Show (Season 1)


In this episode, Ben, a cranky store owner, insists that Andy lock up a moonshiner named Sam on Christmas Eve. Andy decides to lock up Sam and his entire family and proceeds to throw them all a festive Christmas celebration with the help of Barney, Aunt Bee, Opie, and Ellie. Wanting to join in on the celebration, Ben decides to get himself locked up and brings plenty of gifts for everyone.

7. "Guess Who's Coming to Christmas" Happy Days (Season 2)

Although Howard wants it to be just the family for Christmas Eve, Richie realizes that Fonzie will be all alone and decides to invite him.

8. “Christmas at the Clampetts” The Beverly Hillbillies (Season 2)


The Clampetts learn the difference between their style of Christmas versus the coastal California style. They receive nice gifts from Mr. Drysdale that they mistake for other things but have an altogether merry Christmas.

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.
