For most college students Christmas Break is the most wonderful time of the year, after barely surviving the hellish week of finals being able to come home to a house decorated with Christmas cheer is so comforting. We get to avoid adulting for a limited time and solely enjoy sitting around re-watching various Classic Christmas movies, I know when I get home I am going to be watching White Christmas constantly. That is one if not my favorite Christmas movie, I don't know if it has to do with Bing Crosby or maybe it's an old timey film that soothes my old soul; whatever it is I cannot wait. I look forward to driving around with my family looking at the various Christmas lights in town and going last minute Christmas shopping with my mom, doing these kind of activities I think make a college student remember why we come home for a few weeks. In college there can be time when you get lonely during the semester and coming home for a while or just doing things that are not about school put us in a great mood, usually my mom might argue differently but that is different discussion. Any college student will tell you that we enjoy coming home for while and being in our old routine, it's comforting especially during the holidays if you aren't dating someone.

Another perk to Christmas for college students is getting gifts that will help us survive to next semester, cause you know college students have no money. This is the time family can us gifts that will defiantly help out like gift cards, yes it may not seem super personal or impactful but when we have no money or are waiting for our paychecks to come through they are like heaven's gifts. Last year my grandmother gave me a few as a stocking stuffer and it was one of the best things ever, they were restaurants I loved and totally helped when ever I did go out with friends and didn't feel like using my debit card. Now I am sure you are wondering to get a college kid for Christmas, just give a few gifs cards for various places cause never doubt the need of them when it comes to us broke college students.

To college students Christmas is a needed vacation from a stressful semester, yet I am pretty sure parents will argue what really is stressful but regardless we love coming home to our families.
