Christmas time is already one of the busiest times of the year. You have so many dinner plans, gifts to buy and wrap, traveling, and top of all that you the DECEMBER BABIES. I am one of them,(sorry mom and dad), and I am proud of it. Yet, I know there are a lot of things that I miss out on

1. COLD, WARM, ICE.

December is a weird month to have a birthday in especially, with the weather. Forecast of the week can be a mix of warm, snow, ice, or straight up freezing. So, it makes it impossible to have an outside party for your birthday.

2. Why not both?

Giphy

I have never had to deal with this, but I know some who have. When your parents make the ultimate decision to combined both your birthday and Christmas. I see how it is easier for the parents to keep everything under control, I get I get. HOWEVER, from the people whom I know that have their birthday with Christmas say it ruins the special moments of having a birthday.

3. Frustrating for family.

Okay, so I have to buy gram and pops their presents, my cousin's presents, and my other side of the family presents...who am I missing...CRAP. A December birthday is just another layer of frustration that is added on to this crazy Holiday. (Well, at least from my boyfriend's point of view 🤣)

4. Scheduling parties.

I know I spend a great deal of time having to remember which house I have to go to or which party I have to attend to. I have to be at Gram and Pop's at 9 am for my birthday party, another one at 2 pm, and a final one at 5 pm. All at different places. Yayyyyy...

There are definitely good things about December birthdays. You get a snowy birthday...sometimes. Overall, it's a good time and I love having my birthday during this time of year. You have a very festive birthday and Christmas is a very big plus. I'm still hoping for a white birthday this 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.

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.
