10 Movies You Have To Watch

Everyone loves having a fire in the fireplace, with the Christmas Tree lit up, a nice mug of hot coco and their favorite Christmas movies. The top 10 movies you need to watch this season are here:

1. A Christmas Carol

You can never go wrong with A Christmas Carol. The story is beautiful, a little on the depressing side, but it'll get you in the giving spirit.

The first silent film version of this Movie came out in 1901 and was named Scrooge or Marley's Ghost with Daniel Smith as Scrooge. There have been more than ten adaptations or remakes of the original story told by Charles Dickens.

My top two favorite adaptation of the story would have to be the 1984 version with George C. Scott as Scrooge:

And the 2009, Disney version :

“Bah," said Scrooge, "Humbug.” - Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

2. The Polar Express

What's Christmas without a little adventure to believe. Music by Alan Silvestri and Screenplay by Robert Zemeckis and William Broyles Jr. This story is based on the 1985 children's book same name by Chris Van Allsburg.

I've never seen such great graphics and such a lovely story. Seeing isn't always believing, but this story will warm your heart and make you believe all night long.

"Seeing is believing"

3. How the Grinch Sole Christmas

Both the real-life and animated versions of this movie is always a classic to watch. Max is probably more loyal than my dog and Cindy Lou Who is the only one who understands the real meaning of Christmas. In the real-life version, Jim Carrey will keep you laughing and enjoying till the end.

and the original

4. Home Alone

This is a hilarious film with robbers, an 8 year old kid grocery shopping by himself, and the importance of family. This humor filled film pinpoints the understanding and importance of having family around for the holidays.

5. A Miracle on 34th Street

This is a heartwarming tale of "Santa" and brightening the heart of one young girl. This film is guaranteed to warm your heart and never underestimate what Santa can do to nonbelievers.

6. Elf

This humorous tale of an"elf" leaving the North Pole and traveling to the famous New York City. He has no idea what's in store for him and turns one family's holiday season to a time of joy.

"The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear"

7. Rudolf The Red-Nose Reindeer

These stop motion films are a classic to enjoy every holiday season. Understanding that your flaws make you who you are is very important and this film is perfect for that.

8. Frosty the Snowman

This cartoon is timeless. Frosty is a snowman that "came to life one day" with a magical hat. The kids loved Frosty till they realized that the warming sun would leave frosty a puddle, in an extravagant effort to save frosty, the kids embark on a mission to get him to cooler weather.

9. A Charlie Brown Christmas


You wouldn't dare going a Christmas season without watching Peanuts A Charlie Brown Christmas. With the telling of the Nativity Story and understanding true friendship and love

10. A Christmas Story

This is my all-time favorite Christmas movies. There's humor and beautiful moments in this little home in Indiana. From writing themes, to sexy leg lamps to Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-shot Range Model air rifle with a compass in the stock

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
