3 Reasons Why Winter Is The Best

Move over Summer because Winter is replacing you.

3 Reasons Why Winter Is The Best
David Creixell Mediante

1. Snow

Let’s be real, nothing can be more beautiful than the ever still and frozen snow. As unmoving and stagnant as snow can be it can’t be matched by any other. The trees bend to its will, and the wind is submissive to carry it wherever it may want to go. Snow is the one type of precipitation that restricts us into the season of Winter. Not to mention that with snow, there can be snowmen, sledding, and a legitimate reason to appreciate and respect the outdoors.

2. Comfort Food

Nothing is more satisfying than sitting down on your favorite sofa with a large bowl of mashed potatoes and a blanket able to keep you nested for the next four hours of laziness. Comfort food gathers whole families and friends together for celebration; it’s not just the Holidays that are justification for feasting, even though they are pretty good reasons. Comfort food brings a sense of warmth and security to everyone when the outside world is covered in a frozen, placed blanket.

3. The Cold

With Winter brings the cold, an unstoppable force that is unpredictable as it is welcomed. Many spite the cold and only wish for summer to last forever, but this is not the case our mother Earth intended. Yes in some spots of the world it is Summer all year long, but you can’t build a snowman with sand and homemade ice cream wouldn’t taste very well with it either. The cold also gives people a good reason to snuggle with loved ones and stay inside to watch the series of Gilmore Girls for the fourth time.

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.

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.
