Perks To Celebrating Christmas With Younger Siblings
Monica Montes

Everyone over the age of sixteen stops getting really excited about Christmas because the years of joy come to an end, you stop believing in Santa, you start heading towards the years when you can actually afford shopping and buying people gifts instead of receiving them all. Well not in my house. I am the second child out of four, ages ranging from twenty-three to seven. For us? Christmas never got boring. Here's what it's like to celebrate Christmas with younger siblings.

You can actually go shopping for them

You can eat the chocolate in their advent calendar when they don't want it

No one judges you when you run up to Santa with your siblings

You'll always have someone to watch Christmas movies with

Christmas crafts? Of course!

You start to believe in Santa for a bit because they still believe


They're always up for a drive around town to look at Christmas lights


It's totally okay to wear festive things in public because of them

You get to have the milk and cookies when they're asleep

You feel like the Grinch when his heart grows every Christmas Eve when they run to their beds to fall asleep.

Getting to watch them open presents in the morning makes you feel like a successful elf


Hope all the big kids enjoy this magical time of year with their younger siblings!

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
