My Top 5 Christmas Movies

Christmas movies are something I always look forward to and this year is no exception. With finals over and I am on now on break, I have enjoyed the Christmas classics to no end. Here are my top five favorites.

1. White Christmas

What can I say? This beautiful movie has enchanted me for years. The fact that it is a musicaland a Christmas movie with endearing Bing Crosby, hilarious Danny Kaye, thoughtful Rosemary Clooney, and exuberant Vera-Ellen makes it my favorite holiday film of all time. I love watching the magical and enchanting scenes that are filled with songs, dances, and mischief.

2. It's A Wonderful Life

I have several happy memories associated with this one. From watching it on a quiet, frosty afternoon with my cousins to gathering around the fire and enjoying it with friends, I adore this special Jimmy Stewart classic. It is the perfect combination of humor, drama, and Christmas joy. The story of a man who wishes for adventure yet is restrained by duty is one that causes the viewer to think about the meaning of one's own life in a new way.

3. Miracle on 34th Street

This one, of course, is the best movie to watch to prove the existence of Santa Claus. Kris Kringle, the Santa Claus in this film, is amazing and an absolute dream come true. He is thoughtful, wise, funny, kind, and compassionate to all the poor lost souls who do not believe in the magic of Santa Claus and Christmas.

4. A Charlie Brown Christmas

Another staple from my childhood Christmases, A Charlie Brown Christmas is simply splendid with its flawed, human, and unforgettable characters and stories. Literally anyone can watch it and fall in love with it; it is not only for kids. I still watch it with my family at least one a year before Christmas. Plus, Snoopy steals the show with his awesome dancing.

5. Elf

Obviously, a list like this would not be complete without the movie treasure Elf. This hilarious and heartwarming Christmas comedy provides many joys and laughs. The elf Buddy definitely knows what to do for an adventurous and exciting day when he says,"First we'll make snow angels for two hours, then we'll go ice skating, then we'll eat a whole roll of Tollhouse cookie dough as fast as we can and then we'll snuggle."

These Christmas movies are some of my favorites and I hope that you can enjoy them as well. Merry Christmas!

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
