Cynical Christmas

This is what I’ve been fondly referring to as my 
"Cynical Christmas.”

I’ve been trying and trying to get into the hallowed “Christmas Spirit” but I’m just feeling really annoyed and lazy right now. Ever since my third semester in college drew to a close, I have been stuck in this; sleep all day, eat bread, cry, eat more bread, watch depressing low-budget films, fangirl over YouTube guys that live in far-away lands, avoid productivity, hate myself RUT.

Like, what the heck? Anyone else feeling my pain?

Christmas has always been my very favorite holiday and time of year. I look forward to it for months, and now I’m just throwing this one away because I can’t seem to be happy!? NO!

Today is Christmas Eve, and I AM GOING TO BE JOLLY, GOSH-DARNIT.

SO--- I’ve come up with a playlist of songs that are reviving my Christmas-feels, yet still embracing the ones of angst and pain that are here to stay.

It’s saving my Christmas lyfe:

1. ‘Snow' -- Sleeping At Last
2. ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside -- Haley Reinhart, Casey Abrams
3. ’This Time of Year -- Katie Costello
4. The Christmas Song -- Ella Fitzgerald
5. 'Christmas Lights' -- Coldplay
6. 'Have Yourself a Merry Litttle Christmas' -- Weaver At The Loom
7. 'Angels We Have Heard On High' -- Sixpence None The Richer
8. 'Sleigh Ride’ -- The Rifles
9. 'Silent Night’ -- Joshua Hyslop
10. 'January White’ --Sleeping At Last

I’ve also compiled a few of my favorite Christmas film classics that never cease to remind me of the reason for the season. 

Made sure they were bearing all of the tasty Christmas cliches:

1. Just Friends -- Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris, etc. (Greatest comedy of life)
2. It’s A Wonderful Life -- Because it’s a freaking classic and has the man of all men, Jimmy.
3. The Holiday -- Cameron Diaz and (my favorite actress) Kate Winslet (THIS IS MY FAVORITE FILM LET ME TAKE TWO LINES TO EMPHASIZE, THANKS) 

ANYWHOO--
I WILL EMBRACE THIS CYNIC NONSENSE. And I will also accept that this Christmas just feels a bit different than years passed, but it doesn’t mean that it can’t be just as wonderful. 
If you are like me, you may be feeling like this Christmas is a bit lack-luster, and if so, I hope I inspired something in you to go out and find dat Kridmus! So, here’s to being depressed but still diving, fuzzy-socks and all, into the wonder-filled happiness that is “this time of year.” 

PEACE.

'The Internship' was perfect.

If the fact that the whole film opened with Vaughn and Wilson singing along to 'Ironic' by Alanis Morissette isn't enough to make you go see this one, I don't know what is! 

Seriously. Anyone asking themselves how watching Vince Vaughn for two hours is a good idea should know that this is the most likable character he has ever played ...and probably will ever play. 

The themes and subject matter were lighthearted and full of positivity. There were numerous laugh-out-loud moments and you left feeling genuinely good. A game of Quidditch even took place! 

Some could say it was a bit predicable with maybe a hint of cheese, but honestly-- that seems to be lacking in a lot of films today... and I'm a girl who loves that kinda' thing. 

Overall, greatest part of this film was how it relates to, and makes light of,  the changing of times involving technology, and how it has created a HUGE division between our generation and the ones that came before us. I, for one, really loved seeing two old men trying to figure out what heck BETA and HTML mean.

...And it also inspired me to do the same. 

Hahahaha.

So, watch this peach... You'll be glad ya' did. 

Also, look out for Dylan O'brien who plays the attractive, yet arrogant, team member of Vaughn and Wilson in the 'Google' competition. He's going to be huge in coming years. 

And he's really pretty to look at.
