My Top 5 Christmas Movies

Christmas movies are something I always look forward to and this year is no exception. With finals over and I am on now on break, I have enjoyed the Christmas classics to no end. Here are my top five favorites.

1. White Christmas

What can I say? This beautiful movie has enchanted me for years. The fact that it is a musicaland a Christmas movie with endearing Bing Crosby, hilarious Danny Kaye, thoughtful Rosemary Clooney, and exuberant Vera-Ellen makes it my favorite holiday film of all time. I love watching the magical and enchanting scenes that are filled with songs, dances, and mischief.

2. It's A Wonderful Life

I have several happy memories associated with this one. From watching it on a quiet, frosty afternoon with my cousins to gathering around the fire and enjoying it with friends, I adore this special Jimmy Stewart classic. It is the perfect combination of humor, drama, and Christmas joy. The story of a man who wishes for adventure yet is restrained by duty is one that causes the viewer to think about the meaning of one's own life in a new way.

3. Miracle on 34th Street

This one, of course, is the best movie to watch to prove the existence of Santa Claus. Kris Kringle, the Santa Claus in this film, is amazing and an absolute dream come true. He is thoughtful, wise, funny, kind, and compassionate to all the poor lost souls who do not believe in the magic of Santa Claus and Christmas.

4. A Charlie Brown Christmas

Another staple from my childhood Christmases, A Charlie Brown Christmas is simply splendid with its flawed, human, and unforgettable characters and stories. Literally anyone can watch it and fall in love with it; it is not only for kids. I still watch it with my family at least one a year before Christmas. Plus, Snoopy steals the show with his awesome dancing.

5. Elf

Obviously, a list like this would not be complete without the movie treasure Elf. This hilarious and heartwarming Christmas comedy provides many joys and laughs. The elf Buddy definitely knows what to do for an adventurous and exciting day when he says,"First we'll make snow angels for two hours, then we'll go ice skating, then we'll eat a whole roll of Tollhouse cookie dough as fast as we can and then we'll snuggle."

These Christmas movies are some of my favorites and I hope that you can enjoy them as well. Merry Christmas!

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.

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.
