When's The Best Time To Watch Jack Skellington And His Goth GF Be Cute AF

Most of society knows who Tim Burton is, and the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas. If you don't, Tim Burton is a director who directed and created various movies. This includes, "Edward Scissor Hands", "Frankenweenie", "Corpse Bride", along with others. One of the most famous is his movie "The Nightmare Before Christmas". This movie took three years to create and the debate began on when exactly to watch this movie.

It is easy to say that it is meant to be watched at Halloween because it is about a Halloween Town hijacking Christmas. Tim Burton gives a morbid and dark image to the toys that were made and how different characters were brought to light. Without giving the story away for those who have not seen it, Tim Burton brings various popular characters into reality and shows how their minds revolve around their holiday.

SO it is REALLY fun to see how Jack, the male lead role, stumbles across a circle of doors that lead to various holidays. Jack finds the Christmas door enchanting because of the brightness and decor of the door. As the movie goes along we see the Halloween creation of various Christmas toys. Tim Burton even included his version of Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse.

When watching it at Christmas you can relate that it still involves Christmas and the essence of finding out what Christmas is all about. It shows the beauty of Christmas Town and how much work goes into working on Christmas. This also puts into perspective that even though Halloween can come up with toys and deliver them, their perspectives of what they find "pleasant" and "sweet" are different.

When Jack delivers the gifts, it terrifies the children and he assumes that when they scream it's a good thing because he is used to making people scream. Tim Burton brings in the reindeer, trees, snow, decorations, and Santa into this movie that could give it a Christmas movie feel.

Tim Burton finally told society that it was made to be watched at Halloween because it was heavily based with a Halloween background. However, why should you have to choose?! As a firm Tim Burton fan, I watch this movie all year around but more often at Halloween and Christmas! So whatever side you are on, I would not consider you wrong! So go grab a blanket, pillow, and all your favorite snacks, snuggle up on the couch and enjoy!


Happy Halloween Everyone!

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
