December is a month filled with joy, holiday spirit, and a cup full of eggnog. For some people, the holiday season is about the picking out ornaments, watching the flickering of green and red lights everywhere you turn, the struggle of gift wrapping and the holiday tradition of trimming the tree with loved ones. For others, it's about collecting lint in your pocket after spending tons of money on presents and questioning your decision to have a dinner date only a few days prior to buying all those gifts.
For me, it's all about the movies. Not just Christmas movies either. Any and every Disney movie I can possibly get my hands on.
Disney movies are the absolute definition of "Wonderland," and with December's winter wonderland finally here, there is nothing better than to truly get into the spirit of Christmas joy. Anything you need to get a little Christmas cheer, Disney has it: the magical storylines, the sing-along soundtracks, and a nostalgia like no other.
I have been a fan of Disney for practically my entire life and I can without a doubt say that there is nothing like it. "Frozen," "Peter Pan," "Toy Story," and "Jungle Book" are just a few of my favorites. Disney magic just makes you feel like there is a chance it's going to snow every single day.
No matter if you are a young kid in elementary school, a college student relaxing after finals, or a full-blown adult, there is no such thing as being "too old" for a little Disney magic.
For all my college students, just think about it. You knock out your finals, school is out for winter break and unless you have a job, what are you doing? You are probably on Netflix or Hulu, binge-watching your favorite shows and trying to find that "next best thing" to come out. Why not whip out some nostalgia, dust off the DVD player, pull out some covers and just watch to your heart's content? And if you don't have a DVD player, that is what Netflix and Hulu are there for. Call up some friends, have them bring the drinks, scoop up some snacks and turn it into a movie night.
The Christmas season is a magical time of year meant for spending time with family and friends, relaxing within the warmth of your home, and hopefully watching the picturesque view of snow falling. Don't worry about finding Christmas movies. You don't need Christmas movies to feel Christmas joy. You just need the love of people around you, a little bit of spirit, and a couple of Disney movie to get you through the season.
