With Christmas only a few days away, there is still time to make gallons of hot chocolate, wrap yourself up like a present in blankets, lay in bed, and watch Christmas movies all day. There are so many to choose from, so you will not have a problem there. Here are fourteen of the classics that are a must watch not only this holiday season, but every year.

1. Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer

This little guy is the reason Santa can fly his sleigh on those foggy nights, so I feel like it is bad luck if you do not watch it this movie.

2. Frosty The Snowman

You are lying if you have not made a snowman, named it Frosty, and tried to make it come to life. This movie is a classic filled with holiday magic and a scary magician.

3. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town


This movie is really the story of Santa Claus, so go take a journey to Sombertown, say hello to the Burgermeister Meisterburger, and get a little into the Christmas spirit!

4. A Year Without Santa Claus

This movie is one of my favorites. Enough said.

5. The Grinch Who Stole Christmas

Whether it is the animated or Jim Carrey version, this movie is no doubt the best Christmas movie in existence. No matter if you like it or not, we all have a little Grinch in us.

6. The Little Drummer Boy


This movie is one of the less talked about movies, but I suggest you watch it, because it is just as good as the rest.

7. The Santa Clause

This movie gives me the impression that I can one day be Santa Claus. There are three of these, so make sure to watch all of them; I would say watch them back to back.


8. The Polar Express

I still wait up on Christmas Eve every year to catch this train and go to the North Pole, so....


9. It's a Wonderful Life

Such a old, yet classic movie that is a must watch every year.


10. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

This movie makes me laugh so much, and I feel like I may like Christmas just as much as Clark Griswold does.


11. Elf

I could watch this movie 1000 times in a row; Buddy the Elf is hilarious.


12. A Christmas Story

This movie is interesting, but a classic in the Christmas Movie category.

13. A Christmas Carol


There are many different remakes of this movie, and each one of them is as good as the next. So have a fun adventure through time with my good pal Ebenezer Scrooge.

14. Home Alone

Forever making me scared that my parents will leave me behind on Christmas. Still a fantastic movie to watch around the holidays.

Out of the fourteen wonderful Christmas movies I named, they are only some of the Christmas movies out there. Go do your holiday research, grab some popcorn, and spread some holiday cheer by watching these classic movies with your friends and family!

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people." Here is what your friend group might look like if they were Disney princesses (and that wasn't just a thing you all pretended in your heads):
