As you get older, you'll find yourself growing out of things... but these 11 Christmas-time activities are ones you'll never be too old for!

1. Baking Christmas cookies

One thing that will never get old is baking Christmas cookies. As you get older, though, they go from sugar cookies with frosting to Santa Clause shaped masterpieces.

2. Wearing matching pajamas with your family

Although this may be embarrassing, you have to admit that it's fun to put on those snowflake-covered 'jammies.

3. Hand-making ornaments

When you're a kid, making an ornament is coloring a gingerbread man, poking a whole in him, and stringing through a piece of yarn. When you get older, however, making ornaments becomes an art. You can paint it, sew it, bedazzle it or make it smell all fancy.

4. Going to the Christmas parade

The Christmas parade is NOT just for kids. It's the best thing to bring out holiday spirit! From marching bands to baton twirlers to Santa riding a firetruck, the Christmas parade is a great experience for anyone!

5. Singing old Christmas songs

Whether you can sing or not, belting Christmas classics is another thing you'll never grow out of. They'll get you ready for the holidays, no doubt about it.

6. Making a gingerbread house

Making a gingerbread house is another one of those things that becomes an art. When you're a kid, sticking graham crackers together and pasting on some gumdrops is the extent of it. When you grow up a little bit, you'll bake gingerbread from scratch and construct the entire North Pole metropolitan area.

7. Watching cheesy Christmas movies

You are NEVER too old to sit on the couch in your pajamas and watch six hours of Christmas movies. Never.

8. Wearing Christmas-themed clothes

When I say Christmas-themed clothes, I mean the red, light-up, ho-ho-ho sweaters. Face it, these are fun to shop for and even more fun to wear in public. They show your Christmas spirit like nothing else!

9. Waking up at the crack of dawn on Christmas morning

I love to sleep, and I know you do too... but there's something special about waking up super early on Christmas morning that we'll never get too old for. It makes Christmas day so much more exciting!

10. Dumping an insane amount of mini marshmallows in your hot chocolate

Putting so many mini marshmallows in your mug that you can't even see the hot chocolate is the way to go, no matter how old you are.

11. Playing in the snow

Lastly, you'll never be too old to go outside and play in the snow. The snowmen will get bigger, the hills you find to sled down will get higher, and the igloos you build will get huger. It'll be freezing just like it was when you were a kid, but the fun is always there.

Don't forget, you're never too old to show some Christmas spirit!

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.

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.
