15 Reasons To Love The Christmas Season
Mallory Davis

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! December is my all time favorite month, end of statement. Here are just a few things that make the month of Christmas so special.

1. We get to celebrate Jesus’ birth

Make sure to always remember the reason for the season!

2. Candy Canes

It is the only time of the year that Candy canes are acceptable. Honestly, we should riot that candy canes be allowed all year long.

3. The 25 days of Christmas on FreeForm

They can change the name of the channel as long as they don't take my count down to Christmas away.

4. Outdoor Christmas lights

The joy of driving around and looking at Christmas lights is incomparable.

5. Christmas Caroling

"The best way to spread Christmas is singing loudly for all to hear." -Elf-

6. Christmas spirit fills the air

Folks tend to be more caring during the Christmas season. I guess they are trying to get back on the nice list.

7. Antioch’s Bethlehem revisited

This is a must for anyone in the Conway area. Antioch recreates the city of Bethlehem and allows you to take a step into the night our savior was born in.

8. Hallmark.

End of statement Hallmark is the truly the heart of TV. Every night in December I watch at least 2 sappy movies, that get me all in my feels.

9. Christmas music!

Here. There. Everywhere! I love that I am able to listen to non-stop holiday music for a whole month!

10. Nothing can top a good ole cup of Hot Cocoa with marshmallows

11. Santa Clause

Need I say more, no matter how old you get, you never get too old for Santa!

12.PRESENTS

Cheesy I know but I do enjoy buying everyone gifts and even receiving a few too!

13. The Nutcracker ballet.

This is one of my all times favorites! As a kid I dreamed of being Clara and having my nutcracker turn into a prince. It hasn't happen yet but i refuse to give up.

14. Family traditions.

I am a sucker for old timey traditions, they are what makes each of our families unique.

15. The jingling Salvation Army

It makes my heart so happy to hear those bells as I wonder down the shopping center.

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.
