October has arrived! That means autumn is coming and the pumpkins are in harvest. Not to mention, Halloween is on the way. What better way to celebrate Halloween and the arrival of October other than watching Tim Burton's 1993 film "The Nightmare Before Christmas"? This stop-motion film takes us into the world of Halloween Town where a Pumpkin King named Jack Skellington lives, who has grown tired of celebrating Halloween. And when he comes across a portal that leads him to a place called Christmas Town, he becomes obsessed with the holiday known as Christmas and wishes to celebrate Christmas as the new Santa Claus.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of "The Nightmare Before Christmas." That is to say, it has been 25 years since the release of "The Nightmare Before Christmas." This film has become a cult classic for many Halloween fans since. In fact, it is very popular! Over the years when Halloween is coming, fans of the film will dress up as Jack Skellington and his sweetheart Sally. This iconic duo has been a sensation in Halloween and has been known as "the perfect couple" in pop culture. In addition, Jack Skellington along with Sally, Zero, Oogie Boogie, Dr. Finklestein, Santa Claus, the Mayor of Halloween Town and even Oogie Boogie's little henchmen, have been featured in the notoriously popular game "Kingdom Hearts" and "Kingdom Hearts II." "The Nightmare Before Christmas" has been a big thing in the store Hot Topic as well, since it shares elements of goth and horror.

What makes this film a cult classic among fans? Among all Disney films, this film is unique in many ways. Aside from musical numbers, the screenplay lures us into a dark and eerie world of Halloween thrills and chills where ghosts and ghouls exist. Another thing that makes this film stand out is that "The Nightmare Before Christmas" is a story of a dreamer who has been misunderstood by others, something that many people can relate to. Last but not least, "The Nightmare Before Christmas" delivers a powerful moral that resonates countless fans: Never try being anyone else that you're not because it will never work out and being you is what makes you so remarkable.

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.
