The holidays are officially upon us, and no city does Christmas cheer quite like Cleveland. Whether it's going riding the Polar Express in Cuyahoga Falls or visiting the "Christmas Story" house, there's a lot of winter-time activities to do around these neck of the woods.

1. Ride the Polar Express

A more unconventional way to spend winter: go on a train ride!

2. Go to local stores and Christmas shop

Not only is Christmas the perfect holiday to spend time with family, it's also the perfect excuse to go shopping! Luckily for us, Ohio has the perfect mix of independent businesses and chains, so you'll be able to find the perfect gift for everyone!

3. Visit the Christmas Story house

A Christmas Story House

If you're from Ohio, one thing is certain: you watch "A Christmas Story" every year, and if you don't, are you really from Ohio?!

So, why not take a trip downtown and check out the infamous house?!

4. See “Glow!” at Cleveland Botanical Gardens

Now back for this year, the Cleveland Botanical Gardens' has brought back their "winter spectacular" event called GLOW!

5. Go to a hockey game

If there's one thing Clevelanders does best, it's sports, so why not spend the holiday season watching the Cleveland Monsters?

6. Staying in and watching Christmas movies

Because why go out when you can stay inside and watch one of those classic stop motion films?

7. Go see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra

If you're wanting to find something that isn't the norm, why not go see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra as they bring their Ghosts Of Christmas Eve event to Quicken Loans Arena on Dec. 30. For further information, and to get your tickets, you can go here!

8. Baking Christmas cookies

Much like number six, who on earth would you want to go outside when you can just stay inside and enjoy the warmth? An even better thing to do is bake some christmas cookies!

9. Go Christmas lights gazing

Christmas Lights

Ohio has some interesting sights when they want to, and there's quite a few places that go all out when it comes to the holidays. If you want to see where the nearest Christmas lights displays are, you can do so by going here!

10. Snowed In

See on Instagram

What better way of spending a night than going to a full evening show with a bunch of amazing bands? Hot Mulligan and Knocked Loose on the same bill? Uh sign us up immediately! The show is Dec. 21 and you can get your tickets here!

What are you most excited to do this month?!

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.

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.
