11 Times We Have All Related to the Grinch

It’s that wonderful time of year! Time for decorations, baking, family time, Santa, and gift giving! Can’t you just feel the love?

Well sometimes the Christmas spirit is just a bit too much and we all feel the way the Grinch did BEFORE his heart grew three sizes bigger. Here are 11 times we have all related to the Grinch:

1. When you’re just not in the Christmas mood


Christmas music has TAKEN OVER. Every radio station, restaurant, store, and mall are overplaying all the holiday classics. Sometimes it’s just way too much. I mean come on, we can’t expect to be joyful and peaceful and happy all the time...

2. When you’ve hibernated in your room almost all of break

I mean who can resist a warm bed and Netflix?

3. When you have too much free time now


It’s finally Christmas break! But now you have so much free you don’t know what to do with it. Also, if you’re coming home from college, you finally have access to real food. If anyone questions your food intake, just tell them you’re preparing for hibernation.

4. When it’s way too cold outside


If the weather is as cold as your heart, it's a day to stay in.

5. When you find the one you want to spend the holidays with


Right when you’ve prepared yourself for the reactions of when your family asks if you’re STILL single, you find someone you’d actually like to bring home. But what if it’s too late? What if he’s not interested? Does he even know your name? You never asked Santa for these feels so he should just give you the whole thing right? RIGHT?

6. When you struggle to pick out the perfect Christmas outfit


You slipped on your brand new outfit and you are going to SLEIGH that Christmas party you’ve had planned for weeks. Then you take one look in the mirror and all of a sudden its a "Ho Ho No..."

7. When the emotions of the year hit you all at the same time

We all have those times (especially during finals) when the crazy year and the madness ensues so instead of doing the things we’re supposed to (like studying for finals) we end up wondering how we ended up where we ended up, why we feel the way we feel, and eventually end up drowning in feels like the Grinch..

8. When your crush says all they want for Christmas is for their crush to like them


Santa, baby, we both know I'd be the best gift he could ever receive...

9. When you realize it’s a few days before Christmas and you haven’t bought any gifts

Time to face the crowded malls with all the other procrastinators or pray to God if you order on Amazon they actually come in on time….

10. When you finally start to get excited about Christmas

When all the stress has finally somewhat melted away and you realize Christmas is actually here! The excitement starts to settle in and you begin to focus on the joyful part of the holiday season.

11. When the Christmas Spirit finally hits


It’s finally Christmas! All the magic and happiness and joy comes alive and the spirit begins to take over! Whether it’s just a bit, or maybe your heart grew three sizes today, you can’t help but feel the love.

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.
