10 Movies to Get You in the Mood for the the Holidays

My family is big on Holiday movies. Now that Winter Break is upon us, here are my top 10 Holiday movie suggestions for you to watch this break.

10. The Polar Express

A classic movie with a heart-warming story. The Polar Express is perfect with siblings, parents, or friends, a cozy blanket, and a warm cup of hot chocolate.

9. Dr. Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas

Whether the animated version or the Jim Carey version, nothing will fill your heart quite like The Grinch. It's possible your heart might even grow three times as big.

8. A Christmas Story

Once again, a classic. It really isn't Christmas without watching the shenanigans of Ralphie and crew.

7. The Muppet Christmas Carol

I mean, any version of The Christmas Carol would work, but this is my personal favorite version, great music, Muppets, and all.

6. Santa Claus is Coming to Town

A great one to get you in the Christmas spirit, watch the story of how Kris Kringle became the Santa Claus we've come to know and love.

5. The Year Without Santa Claus

What would happen if there was no more Christmas spirit? Well, a few adventures, a few run-ins with the Miser brothers, and some hope might be able to bring Santa Claus back.

4. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Not only is it the story behind the Christmas-favorite song, but it is a heart-warming story. Between Hermie, Clarisse, Bumble, Yukon Cornelius, and, of course, Rudolph, this is a movie to love and remember.

3. A Charlie Brown Christmas

My family watches this movie EVERY Christmas. It's hard to not love Charlie Brown and his friends and the warm message of this movie. Plus, Linus nails it with the telling of the Christmas story.

2.Elf

I mean... in a way, it's a cult classic. I'm pretty sure it's impossible to hate tights-wearing Will Ferrell as an overly enthusiastic human who believes he is an Elf and absolutely loves Christmas. This movie is sure to put you in a good mood and is extremely quotable when you want a laugh with your family or friends.

1. It's A Wonderful Life

Bring out the hot chocolate, bring out the tissues, be prepared for tears and listen for that bell. If this story doesn't make you emotional, then you need to re-watch it and get more invested. The troubles of George Bailey help bring us back to reality, despite this movie being made in 1946.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
