8 Christmas Movies Of My Childhood
kraft-cleaners.com

Halloween is over and November has begun so you know what that means...Christmas movies for days. Although, I'm not in any hurry for the first snowstorm of the year, awkward family gatherings, and gaining weight from eating so much food I have to admit that I'm excited to watch all of my favorite holiday movies. I don't know about you, but there are some Christmas movies that just never get old and remind me of holidays with my family. Today I'm going to list a few of my favorites.

1. Elf


If you say you don't like Elf you're lying not only to the world, but to yourself. Let's face it, Will Ferrell is a comedic genius in every movie he's in but Elf is such a feel-good movie and it will always have a special place in our hearts.

2. A Christmas Story

A classic. No explanation necessary.

3. The Santa Clause

There's nothing like reminiscing your childhood with this Tim Allen classic. Everyone loves the story and adventures of Scott and his son Charlie. Although, my heart broke a little when Charlie cried. That kid was too cute!

4. Frosty The Snowman


This is another movie that made me emotional. These kids created a friendly, magical snowman and then this jerk of a magician tried to ruin the whole thing. I think my favorite part of the whole film is when Frosty yells out, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY". He was too innocent for this world.

5. White Christmas

White Christmas is another holiday classic that everyone MUST see. It's a musical comedy that is guaranteed to put you in the Christmas spirit. Every single time I watch it the songs end up getting stuck in my head. Not to mention, Bob Wallace and Phil Davis are two of the best partners-in-crime ever.

6. A Christmas Carol

I'm sure you all know the story of Ebenezer Scrooge. A man who is, well, a scrooge. I loved this movie as a child just because it was a common Christmas movie, but now that I'm older I love this movie because of Ebenezer's character development. You see him become a loving man. Honestly, this movie is underrated just for that reason.

7. A Charlie Brown Christmas

Charlie, Lucy, Snoopy, and the rest of the gang make an appearance on my television every year. It's been a family tradition to watch the Peanuts Gang together ever since I can remember. It's a perfect combination of humor, creativity, and holiday cheer.

8. Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)


And at last, but definitely not least is How The Grinch Stole Christmas. This is a personal favorite. I've been begging my fiancee to watch this with me since LAST Christmas. I could watch this movie all year around. Again, I think I love it so much because of the humor and character development. You see him go from a loving child who was bullied, to an angry man, back to a loving individual. I also love that the Who community came together and realized that he isn't that bad of a person if you give him a chance. Also, Grinch is my spirit animal.


There's my personal list of Christmas movies that remind me of my childhood. I hope that you make it a point to watch all of these this holiday season with your families!

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.
