There's two kinds of humans when it comes to Christmas. The one's that are absolutely obsessed with the holiday and that one's that roll their eyes at the people obsessed with the holiday. However, whichever side of the spectrum you may be, I think we can all agree we were die-hard fans of Christmas movies as kids. So here are the top 10 Christmas movies that may lead you to doing a little reminiscing about your childhood (and hey, that may even help you get into that holiday spirit):


1. The Grinch.

Who would I be if I didn't put this as number one? We all find ourselves still making references to this movie today. It was the perfect movie at age 5, and still is the perfect movie today. It's heartwarming and hilarious all at the same time, and features some pretty great songs. I may or may not be singing "Where Are You Christmas" by Faith Hill right now.

2. Jack Frost.

You can't not love this movie. It has every aspect of love, family and comedy. It also features a fantastical element as Jack comes back to life as a snowman. It's just great okay.

3. The Santa Clause.

First off, Tim Allen. His acting is always fabulous and even though I probably didn't know his name as a kid, I sure do now. Watching Allen have to become the new Santa Clause and complete all the Christmas deliveries with his son is just incredible. Basically, something in which any of us kids would have dreamed of doing.

4. Home Alone.

The ultimate Christmas classic in which the character of Kevin McCallister was basically our hero. I could watch Kevin try to take down some robbers any day. Even Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is just as good.

5. Elf

A grown man as an elf whose two main food groups consist of candy and syrup, and whose favorite line is, "Buddy the Elf, what's your favorite color?" That's about all I have to say. The movie speaks for itself.

6. A Christmas Story.

Though its release was in 1983, this Christmas movie has still yet to get off everyone's radar. This was the film that taught me not to stick my tongue to an icy telephone poll, and also that I never desired to wear a pink bunny suite. Also, maybe that Ralphie was my spirit animal...

7. The Nightmare Before Christmas.

I'd say this movie has been always fitting for my two favorite holidays, both Halloween and Christmas. As kids, I'd say we were guilty of watching it for both occasions.

8. Christmas with the Kranks.

Both a Christmas disaster and a Christmas miracle. This movie is both hilarious and tender hearted at the same time. And once again...Tim Allen.

9. The Polar Express.

This movie was like a magical journey into another dimension where Christmas was everything and more. As a kid, I felt like I was along for the ride on the Polar Express myself.

10. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

The musicals, the characters, this movie is all around a family favorite. And how can you resist singing "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer?" Whether it be the classic version or the many remixed ones.


So now that I have you experiencing some serious nostalgia, I hope you'll enjoy some hot coco while you're snuggled up in a million blankets watching some of these amazing Christmas movies.

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.
