15 Reasons Why The Holidays Turn You Into The Grinch

1) Because Snapchat was created by the Devil so he can show Santa all the terrible crap you’ve been up to at your job’s holiday party.


2) Speaking of parties, the holidays force you to be around people you absolutely detest. Your favorite question to every invite is: "Who's going to be there?"


3) During the holidays, you become obsessed with your social life and want to attend every ugly sweater party.


4) But eventually, you get sick of it all, become an introvert and reject everyone.


5) And finally, you find the perfect balance.


6) Keeping up with all the current fashion trends for holiday dresses are exhausting. Trying on dress after dress, is exhausting. Sooner or later you reach your breaking point.


7) But once you’ve had a few spiked eggnogs, you decide you look great no matter what.


8) You eat everything you’re not supposed to. Cookies, cupcakes, truffles, gingerbread houses, the Santa plate…


9) And you can pinpoint where all the sugary treats have gone.


10) Talking to kids who speak in social media/viral video lingo just makes you want to do this...

Seriously, if I hear another kid say,"What are thoooseeeeee?!" I'm pelting them with coal.


11) Calculating budgets, picking presents for everyone, trying not to hold grudges for all the crappy presents you received last year...all of it gives you major anxiety.


12) And then you’ve got those friends and family members who are suddenly bashful and make your life harder by saying, “Oh, I don’t know what I want. You don't need to get me anything. Don't get me anything.”


13) But you’ve still got that inner child inside of you.

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.

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.
