17 Things That You Can't Have Christmas Without

1. A weird uncle that everyone loves.

Sometimes, uncles can be pretty weird, but we love them anyways. Here is a shot that describes the weirdness better than words ever can.

2. Presents!!!

Being covered in presents is an amazing feeling at Christmas, but what's much better is giving them. Seeing this many presents for one of the sweetest ladies in the world was quite a fun experience.

3. Grandmas.

What would Christmas be without grandparents? My grandparents make Christmas much more enjoyable, and much funnier.

4. Christmas Dinner!! (or Lunch in this case..)

There are many Christmas traditions around the world, but a fairly common one is Christmas Dinner. In this certain picture, some people were standing around waiting to open presents. (They may have been more excited than the kids were.)

5. Crazy Cousins

Cousins are very fun to be around, and can be your best friends. In this certain picture, my 9 year old cousin wanted to dress up like his grandpa, so he took a tie, a shirt, and a pillow, then the magic happened.


6. Junk Foods for Dinner

There are so many different Christmas foods, but on Christmas Eve this year, my family ate so many appetizers. They were absolutely delicious, but they were all so bad for us.

7. The Mom

The mom may, or may not actually have children. The mom takes care of what seems like everything. She does the dishes, she takes care of the kids, she breaks up arguments, and she cooks and cleans before and after the meal.


8. The Peeker

Everyone has the peeker in their family, whether they know it or not. In this instance, it was my little cousin. Slyly trying to find out what the present is before he opens it. As you can imagine, The Mom was not having this behavior.

9. SANTA!!!!

Christmas wouldn't be complete without Santa! Granted this Santa is female and beardless (the two are not mutually exclusive), Santa is still at this Christmas celebration.

10. Food Comas

After eating so much food, how can someone not fall into a food coma? In this case, Santa has fallen under while sitting in The Mom's lap (even though Santa is as big as Mom is.)

11. Decorations!

Christmas decorations are almost as important as the people to celebrate with! The decorations don't have to be grand or crazy, just a few things showing spirit will work. See here, it's simple and cute.

12. Funny Videos

Everyone is watching this video, and everyone is laughing except the girl in the middle, but that's because someone is sitting on her.

13. The Clothes

Every year at Christmas, my family gets clothes from our aunt. The monogram just adds to it's appeal for this certain teen.


14. Did I mention naps?

Naps. That is all the caption needed for this picture.

15. A Tree

No matter how big or how small, a tree is a Christmas must. This one is a little tabletop tree, but the room around it is well used with the number of presents surrounding it.


16. The Technology

The post-lunch, pre-present dip in activity is filled with computers and phones to keep our minds active. This helps prevent food comas.

17. That One Gift

What would Christmas be without getting that one gift that makes you make this face? After wrapping, boxes, and more wrapping, the gift at the end was well worth the struggle getting to the present. Give a gift that makes the recipient make this face.

I hope y'all had as good of a Christmas as I did. Now on to the New Year!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
