The Ultimate Christmas Movie List For This Year
Odyssey

To me, Christmas movies are a staple piece of the holiday season. Granted, I have seen every Christmas movie a thousand times, but I still like being able to watch the same movies over and over. I've noticed that it puts me in the Christmas spirit more than anything else does. Here my top 11 holiday movies to put you in the Christmas spirit this year.

1. How The Grinch Stole Christmas

Personally, I am a sucker for the real life version of The Grinch. Not only can we relate to the grinch (sometimes), but the movie shows us that Christmas is much more about love and kindness than hate.

2. Elf

Elf is the funniest Christmas movie I think I have ever seen. It makes me laugh ever single time I watch it. My friends and I continue to quote the movie very frequently.

3. The Santa Clause movies

Tim Allen is probably the best Santa Clause ever. I watch every single Santa Clause movie in a row the week before Christmas.

4. Christmas with the Kranks

Although Tim Allen is not Santa in this movie, he is hilarious. It shows us that one simply does not skip Christmas.

5. Home Alone movies

We grew up with the Home Alone movies since we were children. They will always be a timeless classic and therefore, is a perfect addition to this year's Christmas movie list.

6. A Christmas Carol

This can be a very powerful movie to watch. The beginning of the movie can be a little somber, however, it leaves you in the Christmas spirit.

7. Frosty The Snowman

Many people think this movie is strictly for children, but it is also for adults. Whenever I watch this movie, it puts me in a happy mood.

8. Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer

Probably the most popular of every Christmas movie. There are thousands of stories based off of this movie. It is a must see this Christmas!

9. The Christmas Story


This classic movie will be sure to make you laugh this holiday season! It continues to make me laugh every time I watch it.

10. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

This movie is probably the perfect depiction of Christmas decorating. It is a struggle, but once it's done, it's magnificent. This movie is a big hit in my family.

11. The Polar Express

Last, but not least! The Polar Express movie always gets my family and me in the Christmas mood. We have to watch this every single year.

These are my favorite movies to watch every single year. I hope you enjoy my favorite Christmas movies as much as I do. Have a very Merry Christmas!

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.

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.
