Perfect Christmas for Your Family

It's that time of year again! Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, and it's time to start planning for the perfect Christmas for your family.

From finding the perfect gifts to creating a festive atmosphere, there are plenty of ways to make your holiday season even more special. In this blog post, we'll be sharing our top three tips to help you plan the perfect Christmas for your family. So read on to find out how to make this Christmas one to remember!

Set a Budget

One of the most important steps to planning the perfect Christmas for your family is to set a budget. By establishing a budget, you can ensure that you have the resources available to make this holiday season special and memorable for everyone. Before you start shopping for gifts, food, decorations, or any other items related to the holiday, take a moment to determine how much money you are able to allocate for Christmas.

Once you have your budget in place, you can begin to think about what kind of activities your family would enjoy doing together. One great way to get everyone in the holiday spirit is to watch some classic Christmas shows and movies. Whether you choose to gather around the TV for a viewing of Home Alone or find an outdoor screening of A Christmas Story, these festive films are sure to bring joy and laughter to your family. Make sure to include some time for making popcorn and hot cocoa as well!

Create a Gift Wish List

Creating a gift wish list for your family can be a great way to ensure that everyone has something special to open on Christmas Day. Start by talking to each member of your family and finding out what they would like this holiday season. Keep in mind that gift wish lists can include more than just physical presents – think experiences, activities, or even Christmas shows and movies they’d like to watch together. Have everyone write down their wishes and store them somewhere accessible, like a shared online document or a whiteboard in the kitchen. This will help you keep track of the items and ideas that are most important to your family so that no one gets left out come December 25th.

Choose a Theme

Christmas is the time of year to gather with friends and family and create beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. When it comes to planning the perfect Christmas, one way to make it extra special is by choosing a festive theme. Whether your family loves Christmas shows and movies, snow-filled winter wonderlands, or simply wants to show off its holiday spirit, there are many ways to bring the joys of the season to life.

One fun way to embrace the holiday cheer is by using Christmas shows and movies as inspiration for decorating and activities. If you’re looking to add some extra holiday cheer to your gathering, consider hosting a family movie night featuring classic Christmas movies like A Christmas Story or Miracle on 34th Street. You can also plan a themed party around popular Christmas shows such as The Grinch or A Charlie Brown Christmas. Invite your guests to dress up in their favorite characters from the show and have everyone vote for the best dressed.

No matter what type of holiday fun your family is looking for, Christmas shows and movies can be a great source of inspiration for creating lasting memories. With a little imagination and planning, you can turn any gathering into an unforgettable Christmas experience.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
