2015 Christmas Bucketlist

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Right? Well, even if you are a total Grinch, here are 25 things to do this Christmas season to get you into the spirit.

1. Decorate a Christmas tree.

2. Have a snowball war.

Yes, a war, because regular snowball fights are boring.

3. Go see Santa.

Go grab some friends and be the oldest ones in line for a picture with Santa. It'll be a great picture.

4. Go sledding.

5. Build a gingerbread house.

6. Bake cookies.

Don't eat all of them but, instead, make some cookie plates for friends and neighbors.

7. Go see the Christmas lights around town.

8. Take a Christmas card picture.

Break out the ugly Christmas gear and pose for a few photos.

9. Watch "A Christmas Story."

Is it really even Christmas if you don't watch it at least once during TBS's 24-hour marathon?

10. Watch "How The Grinch Stole Christmas."

11. Watch "Elf."

It's the symbol of Christmas time.

12. Take a sleigh ride.

13. Buy presents for Angel Tree.

Angel Tree helps gives children with incarcerated parents a happy holiday season.

14. Go to a Christmas concert.

15. Listen to Christmas music.

And sing along at the top of your lungs.

16. Drink a lot of hot chocolate.

Nothing says Christmas like hot chocolate with a million marshmallows in a cute winter cup while watching a movie.

17. Build a snowman.

18. Have a Christmas party.

19. Drink eggnog or, at least, try it.

20. Have a throwback day and watch old Christmas episodes of all your favorite cartoons.

You'll find me watching "Rugrats" and "The Fairly Odd Parents" Christmas specials on Christmas morning.

21. Go last minute Christmas shopping with the crazy crowds.

Do you remember that scene in " Mean Girls" where all the girls are fighting about the book and it's a madhouse? That's the mall on Christmas Eve. Go try and shop in it—it's quite the adrenaline rush.

22. Go ice skating.

23. Go see a new Christmas movie in theaters.

Currently you can go see "The Night Before" or "Krampus".

24. Buy an ugly Christmas sweater.

If you bought one last year, then try to get an uglier one this year.

25. Enjoy the day and share a few laughs with your family.

When It comes down to it, that is what Christmas is all about—family. Even when they drive you absolutely crazy, Christmas is about being thankful for them and reminding them of it.

Just remember: “Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more!” - Dr. Seuss.

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.
