Holiday movies are not my favorite genre of film, but when the time comes, I have my classics that are a must-watch. As a film major, I find myself struggling to really enjoy movies the same way, but these old faithfuls still take the cake!

Love Actually

Director: Richard Curtis

My all-time favorite Christmas movie thus far! First, I love how it seamlessly tells the story of eight different lives and brings them all together in the end. It keeps you intrigued, and you don't get confused within all the many different perspectives.

The Best Man Holiday

Director: Malcolm D. Lee

I watch this movie every single year and I never get tired of it. It shows the different elements of friendship, good and bad, and how important friendship can be.

Friday After Next

Director: Marcus Raboy

Who doesn't love a good comedy!? "Friday After Next" is the third film in the "Friday" trilogy and my favorite of the three. This holiday comedy focuses on the black community and puts a comical emphasis on the events that take place there.

The Polar Express

Director: Robert Zemeckis

You always have to have one good cartoon movie on the list, and this is mine. Ever since the first time I saw this film, I always thought it was the sweetest and most genuine Christmas movie ever. Not to mention it has amazing graphics and animation! It shows exemplary foundations of joy, friendship, and courage.

The Last Holiday

Director: Wayne Wang

Personally, I love this movie because I just love Queen Latifah. Not to say that it isn't a great movie, because it is, but I just really liked seeing her take on a role outside of her comfort zone. The film is about a woman who learns that she has three weeks to live and decides to drop everything to complete her bucket list.

Elf

Director: Jon Favreau

I find this movie intriguing. It reads like an animated film but then incorporates a modern twist of reality. It tells the story of an orphan who was adopted by Santa as an elf, but then returns to the U.S. to find his father. This is another classic Christmas comedy that the whole family will enjoy.

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.
