5. “Elf”

The story of a human elf raised in the North Pole’s journey to find his biological father in New York city. Along the way, Buddy the elf learns what it is like to live as a human outside of Santa’s workshop. Although he faces many obstacles, Buddy’s journey to the big apple revives the Christmas spirit of a community filled with skeptics.

4. “The Polar Express”

The tale of a young boy’s journey to the North Pole on a magical train called the Polar Express. Despite his skepticism about Santa Clause, the extraordinary train, elves and his ability to hear the ringing of one of Santa's sleigh bells revives his belief and brings Christmas spirit to young children everywhere.

3. “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!”

The 1966 animated musical is a tale of a grumpy character called the Grinch who tries to steal the spirit of Christmas from the Whos in Whoville. Everything changes when he comes across Cindy Lou Who, whom restores the Christmas spirit in the members of Whoville, along with Mr. Grinch.

2. “A Charlie Brown Christmas”

This classic 1960’s animated film tells the story of a depressed Charlie Brown who tries to get in the Christmas spirit by directing the Christmas play. With the help of his friends, Charlie Brown brings back the true meaning of Christmas, despite the other kids' efforts of modernizing the play. The heartfelt film illuminates the true meaning of Christmas, without all of the “glitz and glam” of today’s modern world.

1. “A Christmas Story”

The story of young Ralphie, who wants nothing more than a Red Ryder B.B. gun from Santa Clause. The realistic tale of a 1980s family continues to capture the heart of modern families today, airing 24 hours on Christmas day on TBS and/or TNT. There is nothing quite like opening your presents from Santa and drinking hot chocolate with the Parker family's antics playing in the background.

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.

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.
