11 Reasons Why Christmas is the Best Holiday!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at San Diego chapter.

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year” is not just a line in a song. Christmas time is the best time of the year — there is no denying. Houses are delicately covered in twinkling lights, the scent of Christmas tree fills the air, and your daily routine is interrupted by a sense of irrevocable festivity.
