This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Seton Hall chapter.

1. Tinsel thrown everywhere, sparkly lights strung from every corner of each room, shades of red, green, silver, and gold… 

It’s no wonder decorating can be a key aspect of our Christmas spirit!

2. Soft, comfortable and unusually eye catching— 

We’re not talking about anything other than the obvious Ugly Christmas Sweater. The large patterned article of clothing is a necessity to every closet, after all, who hasn’t been invited to an Ugly Christmas Sweater party?!

3. Freshman 15? More like Holiday 30! 

Baking is one of our favorite holiday tasks, for obvious reasons of course.  Who doesn’t like to eat!? We can promise you that spending a day decorating Christmas cookies and eating them won’t be a dull day.  Sorry, Santa! No cookies left for you!

4. Two words: Mariah Carey. 

As soon as we hear the first few bells in, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” we get ready to belt out as if we were Mariah. Can you blame us? Have you seen her in her red velvet Santa costume?

5. “Do you want to go to a party tonight?” “Um…no.” 

You obviously already have plans to be curled up on your couch with ABC Family’s 25 Days of Christmas.  Whether it be classics like, How the Grinch Stole Christmas or the new Melissa & Joey Christmas special, we’re 100 percent positive this will bring some holiday vibes.

Hello all, my name is Courtney Jenney and I am one of the writers for the Seton Hall Her Campus. I am a Journalism and Public Relations major studying as a full time student at Seton Hall University. I consider myself a lover of all things beautiful; fashion, well-being, beauty, health, art, travel, and music. I was born and raised on Cape Cod in Massachusetts; home to beautiful beach views and royal history. My home is an hour south of Boston; which is why I have a love for all of the New England/Boston sports teams. As passionate for writing as I am, I am striving to entertain others with my writing and provide lively topics for other students around campus! Cheers to the future! XO
