9 Thoughts You Have While Christmas Shopping

Christmas shopping both fun and frustrating for people like me, who enjoy finding personal presents for everyone on their list. It gets hard, however, when your list keeps growing with people you don't always see.

1. Do I really have to buy something for all of these people??


I mean seriously, it's exhausting trying to come up with personal gifts for everyone.

2. Can I use the excuse that (fill in the blank) is on the naughty list, when really I didn't know what to get him?


I can't help it if they have been bad and don't deserve presents. Right? Right?

3. What do you buy for the person who has everything they could possibly want?


I mean for real, some people find something that they want and they just buy it? it's extremely frustrating.

4. I cannot deal with these people, they are driving me crazy.


Why do people think dragging their children around the store with them while Christmas shopping is a good idea? If I hear one more child scream about wanting something that their parent has probably already bought I'm going to threaten to tell Santa!

5. This is the perfect gift! Who cares if it costs a little more than I was planning to spend?

I mean it's the perfect gift! Can you really put a price tag on your friend's happiness??

6. Wait it costs HOW MUCH??

Or, you know, I could just buy them some nice socks...

7. Screw it, I'm staying home, I can buy all of this on Amazon anyways.

I get 3% cash back from Amazon and they have more variety, that seems much safer to me...

8. Why didn't I start my shopping earlier?

Okay, yes I should have started shopping a little bit here and a little bit there in October, but hindsight is 20/20...

9. Screw it, they're all getting some form of alcohol.


And let's be honest, they will all love this option anyways!

Overall, Christmas shopping is a very stressful but important part of the holiday season. Christmas isn't just about getting gifts but giving gifts to the people we care about helps show others just how much they mean to us. But thank goodness Christmas only comes once a year, because I don't think I could handle having to shop this much more than once.

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.
