Every Christmas season brings things to our minds, whether it’s remembering that terrible snowstorm that you had to go through or having a snowball fight with your family and friends. For most people, especially the younger ones, it means a few extra-special things; along with the presents comes a tradition of old: the Christmas-Cartoon-and-Movie-athon.
Some Pittsford students and teachers are in full agreement with their favorite. “My favorite Christmas movie would have to be A Charlie Brown Christmas,” said sophomore Melinda Haggerman. Mr. Hodos, after reflecting for a moment, agreed. “It would have to be the Charlie Brown Christmas special with the little tree that looks like a root until the end of the movie.” Sophomore Abbie Brackman said, “A Christmas Story.”
One thing that everyone can agree on is that these stories make us think of times past in a way that we usually don’t during the rest of the year. Everybody that was asked what their favorite 
movie was gave a similar reaction. There was a moment of silence as they thought of it. Some, if not all, during that time were thinking of memories when they first watched those movies. “Wow…that’s a hard question…umm…well I know it’s not a Christmas movie, but I remember watching The Sound of Music during Christmas time when I was a kid. So I guess I think of that as a Christmas movie. I saw the Nativity Story last year and I really like that, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas is always a classic. It made me cry when I was a kid because I thought the Grinch was so mean when he made the dog pull the sled up the mountain,” said Mrs. Clement. Mr. Lovell, after a moment of thinking said, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” Steven Rose said, “I like Bad Santa,” and senior Beau June agreed, commenting “I like Bad Santa too.”

It doesn’t usually show until about the middle of November, but no matter what it always comes up. And in the words of Santa Claus, “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.”
