December Madness: What Is The Best Christmas Movie?
Enduring All Things

Not only is the joy of binge-watching Christmas movies back, but I, too, am determined to see which holiday classic is the best of the best. After picking from an assortment of the most popular movies, the final line up came down to 14 holiday films. Throughout the week, I will be running Twitter polls to let my followers vote and decide which movies will come out on top. Be sure to follow me at @mar_ryz to tune in and vote for all of your favorites! Check out the first round of the tournament!

1. The Polar Express v. Disney's A Christmas Carol

Who will win the battle of holiday classics later brought to the big screen: the boy who needed a little push to believe, or the man who spent the night with ghosts while watching his Christmas' past, present, and future?

2. Christmas Vacation v. A Christmas Story

Whose crazy family Christmas goes down as the best: Clark Griswold or Ralphie?

3. Home Alone v. Home Alone 2: Lost in New York

We all loved Kevin being stuck at home, but what about when he takes on the big city?

4. The Ultimate Christmas Present v. Jack Frost

Who had more power with the weather in these two Disney classics: when Allie stole Santa's weather machine or when Jack Frost came back to life as a snowman?

5. The Santa Claus v. The Santa Claus 2

We all love Tim Allen as Santa, but was he better when he first put on the coat or when he searched for a Mrs. Claus?

6. Elf v. How The Grinch Stole Christmas

The battle of everyone's favorite comedians as some of their best characters: Will Ferrell as "Buddy the Elf" or Jim Carrey as "the Grinch?"

7. Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer v. Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas

These two cartoon classics always have a special place in everyone's heart, but who ended up saving Christmas more: Rudolph or the Grinch?

8. White Christmas v. It's A Wonderful Life!

Finally, the old time classics and probably the hardest decision: Bing Crosby retiring from the army and going into show business, or James Stewart receiving a life changing reality check from his guardian angel?

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.
