Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas

Nothing better than an ugly Christmas sweater and Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas!

One of Hollywood's greatest contributions to the Christmas season is a slew of fantastic Christmas movies. Each year, ABC Family, (which is now Freeform) puts on their annual 25 Days of Christmas, and each year I flip out over the movies that come on TV. Nothing makes me merrier at this time of year than watching a Christmas movie on the couch, surrounded by friends and/or family, covered in a warm fleece blanket (besides the actual reason for the season).

Freeform announced the schedule on October 27, 2016. Although, for me, it is a bit early to be thinking about Christmas in October, I was still excited with the film choices this year. I am very excited that they made sure to include all of the classic stop motion films. Here are some of my favorite holiday films, sure to make the season a bit merrier!

The Year Without Santa Claus

This is definitely my favorite stop motion Christmas movie of all time! The characters are some of the most iconic characters of the Christmas season, not to mention how adorable they all are! It has some of the best songs in Christmas films, as well. 🎶 They call me Heat Miser! Whatever I touch starts to melt in my clutch! He's too much! 🎶

The Santa Clause

This movie is perfect for people of all ages! It gets everyone in the Christmas spirit, from little kids to adults. It is full of great lessons about believing and having faith. Not to mention, Tim Allen is quite the character!

The Little Drummer Boy

Another stop motion sensation! This film is one of the greatest Christmas films of all time. The title song is one of the most iconic songs in Christmas music history. It is a perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit, considering it is a story that leads up to the REAL reason for the season!

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

It's a Griswold Family Christmas! Here is another of the most iconic Christmas movies of all time! You will be rolling on the floor laughing by the time this movie is halfway finished! This movie is full of the comedic realities of the Christmas season.

Santa Claus is Comin' To Town

This movie is one of the great stop motion films of the Christmas season. It is one of the most iconic films, tracing Santa Claus all the way back to his Kringle origins! Full of some of the most known songs in Christmas music history, you'll be singing along before you know it! 🎶 You'd better watch out! You'd better not cry! You'd better not pout I'm telling you why! Santa Claus is coming to town! 🎶

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.
