8 Reasons Christmas Is the Best Holiday

It's officially the most wonderful time of the year, everyone!! There's so much to be excited for. Fall may be my favorite season but Christmas is DEFINITELY my favorite holiday. Here's 8 reasons Christmas is the greatest holiday.. ever.

1) Shopping, shopping, shopping

While some hate it, I LOVE shopping for Christmas gifts.. or shopping in general. This is the season that gives me a reason to shop shamelessly for others and myself.


2) Hi friends, hi family!

You're home for the holidays! Everyone is home for the holidays! It's so great be able to gather around and celebrate an amazing time of the year together with the ones you love.

3) No. School. OMG.

Praise God, y'all because we made it! Four months of agony, studying, and crying is over for a whole month! It's such a great feeling to be able to kick back and relax and not stress over any school work.

4) Decorations galore

Everything is so elegant and beautiful. From the Christmas trees to the stockings. It's even better at night when all the lights are turned on. And come on, I can't be the only one who loves driving around just to see how others decorate their homes.


5) Christmas music is officially acceptable.

Yeah, I mean, you could listen to Christmas music anytime of the year (if you want to be judged), but there's never a more perfect time to listen to Christmas music than around Christmas time! I'm listening to my man Michael Bublé as I'm typing.


6)The festivities.

The caroling, church plays, town events. All of it is so enjoyable and gets me so much more in the Christmas spirit.


7) Gifts

Self-explanatory. Who doesn't love gifts, amirite?


8) Jesus!!!

And let's not forget THE MOST important reason for it all, the birth of our Savior, Jesus. We wouldn't be celebrating this holiday without Him. He's the center of it all. I mean, you know what they say: "He's the reason for the season!"


Wishing everyone a merry, merry Christmas! Hope you guys spend lots of time with your families and friends. Extra blessed to be able to celebrate this holiday because of the birth of our King.

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.
