5 Reasons The Holiday Season Is The Best Season

Sophia Otero

There are so many reasons why the holiday season is my favorite time of the year... hopefully, these 5 holiday activities will get you in the spirit too!

1. Nights spent watching holiday movies

Giphy

The Grinch, Home Alone, A Christmas Story, Elf, and many more are just a few of the reasons why nights spent in watching movies with friends or family are the best kind of nights.

2. Decorating the house for the holidays

Giphy

In my family cutting down the Christmas tree, setting up the Christmas village and decking out our house for the season is a tradition I look forward to each and every year

3. Spending time with friends and family

Giphy

Every time Christmas rolls around I feel like I see a lot more of the people who mean the most to me. With so many different holiday activities going on its an excuse to see the people you love a whole lot more than the rest of the year. (It can also cause some family conflict but the drama adds to the Christmas spirit of it all)

4. Carrying out traditions

Giphy

My family loves to make gingerbread houses (although mine never turns out too great) and each year we do a big cookie swap. It is something we have been doing for several years and I look forward to it each time the season comes around.

5. Driving around and seeing all of the Christmas lights

Giphy

One of my favorite holiday activities is driving through town and seeing the beautiful light displays that some homes have set up. It is so fun to look at and driving around listening to Christmas music puts me in the ultimate holiday spirit.

1. "Talk about a dream
Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
