Students’ top 10 holiday movies, songs
December 1, 2010
The holidays wouldn’t be the same without our favorite movies and songs. No matter how early they start, you need those classics to get you in the holiday mood.
ISU students voted on their favorite movies and songs.
Their favorite movie was “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.” Who could forget the squirrel scene and when Aunt Bethany wraps up the cat? It’s a must-see every year.
The students’ favorite song was “Jingle Bells.” As a song that has been drilled into our head since we were toddlers, it is no surprise that many people think of it first.
Many of the students’ choices also appeared on the top 10 list of most-listened-to holiday songs and most-bought holiday movies. Check out the list below to see ISU students’ favorites.
