Whew! Finals are behind you, and you’re either en route or already home, hopefully, snuggled tightly between fluffy pillows and your dog. The natural progression is to then brew some cocoa and tune into some of your favorite Christmas movies. If you’re a millennial cynic like me, then you may notice the sheen fading from some childhood favorites. In honor of disillusionment, here’s a guide to help you

Aries, March 21 - April 19

Frosty the Snowman

Frosty may have a sunshine-y spirit, but let’s hope the weather doesn’t match it! In more capricious areas like the Midwest, Frosty will be safe for more than a day only if Hell, ahem, Chicago, freezes over. Enjoy your short, short existence Aries.

Taurus, April 20 - May 20

Clarence the Angel

I’m sure you’d like to spend Christmas Eve with family and friends, but if you’re Clarence the Angel you have to go save dudes with perfectly fine lives from jumping off of bridges. Instead of referring mentally ill people to a counselor, God sends down trepidacious angels to take people on the guilt trip of their lives. You, Taurus, are tasked with making people feel bad for being mentally ill. Take that, depression!

Gemini, May 21 - June 20

Santa’s Elves

Name five of Santa’s elves. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

That’s what I thought. I had to google it just to find that there’s that one in Rudolph with a dentistry degree, one in that Tim Allen movie named ‘Bernard’, and that Elf of ‘On The Shelf’ fame doesn’t get a name until some mom with too much time on her hands gives it one. You, Gemini, are like a teenage girl with a tattoo of an arrow or someone on the internet who thinks they’re original for making fun of teenage girls; a dime a dozen.

Cancer, June 21 - July 22

Ghost of Christmas Present

Heartburn. Heartburn forever.

Leo, July 23 - August 22

Ghost of Christmas Future

You spend all morning trying to look your best, getting ready for some haunting. Lipstick, contour, you even got your eyeliner to match for once. I mean, you’re absolutely slaying. And it’s all for nothing, because you’re hidden beneath a hood for 99% of the time, and at the last second you have to make yourself look like a skull, even though you’re obviously not a skull, what kind of calcium do you have to eat to make your bones do that?!? It’s depressing, it really is. Your life is just as futile, Leo.

Virgo, August 23 - September 22

Donner the Reindeer

I had to put ‘the reindeer’ up there because otherwise you might think I was talking about the Donner Party, which is about as Christmasy as a railroad spike to the eye. Again, do you know anything about Donner? They’re such a forgettable reindeer that half of the world are pretty sure their name is Donder. That’s how forgettable you are, dear Virgo. If people have heard of you at all, they’re not even sure what your name is.

Libra, September 23 - October 22

Jack Skellington

Jack, exhausted by his routine, tried to add variety to his life by doing (a form of) community service. It literally blew up in his face. So Libra, if you choose to try to change yourself, just know that it will probably end badly, and you really ought to just stay home.

Scorpio, October 23 - November 21

Buddy the Elf

Sure, you’re happy and cheerful now, and your girlfriend thinks it’s adorable. But dear Scorpio, the honeymoon period always ends eventually. First, you’ll probably die of diabetes by 35 (really? candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup? Candy corn isn’t even Christmas themed!). Second, the missus can’t handle the childish wonder act forever. Can you spell ‘divorce’ in the snow?

Sagittarius, November 22 - December 21

Jack Frost

Cold in the streets, chill in the sheets. Sorry Sagittarius.

Capricorn, December 22 - January 19

Ghost of Christmas Past

You’re either some weird little kid with fire for a head or a young very pretty lady forced to talk to old men for eternity. Not the best gig, Capricorn. Looks like you’re obsessed about everybody else’s old mistakes, which is not the best way to make new friends.

Aquarius, January 20 - February 18

Rudolph

Aquarius, you’re weird and no one likes you. Oh, suddenly your weirdness is useful at work? Now you’re admired for about 36 hours. And then you’ll go tumbling back to being the butt of everyone’s jokes, with the added bitterness of jealousy left over from your fifteen seconds of fame.

Pisces, February 19 - March 20

The Grinch

Heart attack. Sorry, man.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

Because no one ever really leaves.

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.

Moana's Top 10 Life Tips

"Moana" is filled with life lessons that involve far more than finding true love as many other Disney movies do.

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.
