Dear Friends,

How is everyone doing today? It's finally December which means so many different things: gifts, food, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, vacation, movies, snow, and so much more. Some people may enjoy this time of year and others probably want it over with as soon as possible. For me, I love this time of year. It's a great time to let loose and just be happy. Sure it can be stressful, but I am here to help you out with that. Here are 25 fun things you can do to have fun during this time of year!

1. Make Christmas cookies and decorate them with family.

2. Go iceskating!

3. Go sledding with your friends.

4. Have a snowball fight in your neighborhood.

5. Have a Christmas movie marathon with that special someone.

6. Decorate around the house to be festive!

15. Make hot chocolate with marshmallows.

16. Build a gingerbread house

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.

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.
