Five Movies to Watch During the Holidays

Hey, guys! So, since I made a list of the five must-see movies for Halloween, I thought it was only right to do one for Christmas as well. So, here is a list of the five movies you HAVE to see this year!

1. The Santa Clause

This movie from 1994, is a must-see for anyone who enjoys the Christmas holidays. It's a classic about how a father has to take over the role of Santa after Santa falls off of his roof. Plus, it has Tim Allen, so it has to be good! Did I mention that it's on Netflix now?

2. It's a Wonderful Life

Also a classic, It's a Wonderful Life from 1946 is a story about what life would have been like if the main character had never existed. Don't worry, the movie's not all sad; there are happy parts.

3. The Holiday

The Holiday is a movie from 2006, but for some reason, I hadn't seen it until last year. It is a chick flick, but it's really sweet and I absolutely adore this movie. I won't be able to go another Christmas without watching it. The amazing cast consists of Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jack Black, and Jude Law.

4. The Polar Express

So, when I looked up the year for this one, it made me feel SO old! (It's from 2004...it's twelve years old. WHAT?) But, this movie is still one of my favorites. The music, Tom Hanks, everything. Just. So. Good.

5. How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Okay, so this one definitely makes me feel old. How the Grinch Stole Christmas came out in 2000. I was only six years old! It does NOT feel like it's been that long since it came out. Well, anyway, this is a really good Christmas movie and it has Jim Carrey in it, so you know it has to be good.


These are only five movies out of a larger list of Christmas movies that are really good that I watch every year, but if you have Christmas movie recommendations, you can comment them below, because I've surely missed some! Happy Holidays!

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.
