12 Christmas Moments that Christmas Movies Got Right
Deseret News Media & Books

Christmas movies range from the heart felt Hallmarks to classics made in the 1970s to holiday comedies.

A Christmas Story, A Christmas Vacation, and Christmas with the Kranks are a few of my favorite Christmas movies and found moments in each that are pretty relatable. Here are 12 of them.


1. "I can't put my arms down!"

Winters can be brutally cold in the northeast which means you have to bundle up. We can thank the iconic "I can't put my arms down!" in A Christmas Story. It takes us back down memory lane to when we were kids where we were forced to wear those horrible puffy winter suits.


2. Nature's slip and slide

Yeah, I'll admit it, ice has gotten the better of me multiple times. You're lying if you said it hasn't and I may be gullible, but no, I'm not going to believe you.


3. Thank god, we finally found the tree

Finding the Christmas Tree

Let's face it, finding the tree is a ton of fun but it can get cold. By the end, when you once thought you'd never find that perfect tree for the year, you've done it. Congratulations! Cut that tree down and go put it up!


4. Let the branches go

Okay, so maybe it's not as dramatized as it was with the Griswolds, but nonetheless it's still pretty bad. We've done it multiple times in my family and thankfully, no windows were broken...yet.


5. You get sap! And you get sap! And you get sap!

Sap

Trees are sappy. Get use to it. Accept it. Love it. Because it's not going anywhere!


6. Hey, what's that in the tr--?

We've all had that Christmas where we accidentally brought too much nature into the house.


7. Trees are a beast in their own

Something always goes wrong with the tree. The star is crooked, the tree falls over, cats attack it. You just have to make the most of it.


8. Risking your life on the roof for Frosty

Okay, maybe it's not exactly a Frosty decoration you're putting on your roof like the Kranks but you probably have something and you're probably risking your life to put them up.


9. Some Santas are scary.

Yes, when I was little, I cried when I visited a Santa. Everyone has at least once, yes, even you.


10. Stress snowballs

Stress. It's inevitable. There's too much to do and not enough time to do it. You just have to keep on, keeping on.


11. The dreaded pink bunny suit

Ralphie and the Pink Bunny Suit

Everyone has that dreaded pink bunny suit. No, it may not literally be a bunny suit but it's always something. We can't help it and don't even try to deny it.


12. And that's a wrap

Now that the stress and the hustle and bustle have come and gone, sit back and just relax until the New Year. You guys deserve it. And yes, that pun was most definitely intended.

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.
