With the end of the semester approaching, students will soon have more free time to watch Christmas movies and get in the holiday spirit. Here are some recommendations from fellow students and staff:
Alejandro Díaz — Business administration
“My favorite Christmas movie is ‘The Polar Express’. It’s pretty old but I remember watching it as a kid every single year, and I just felt the Christmas vibes when I watched it with my brothers and all my cousins. All the Christmas songs and all the insight on how Santa worked, I remember getting excited for Santa when I watched it.”
