A Tribute to Thanksgiving; An Overlooked Holiday!

Thanksgiving is usually overlooked between two major holidays that everyone loves to make a big deal out of. Halloween and Christmas are huge holidays that usually make money in their own way. When Halloween is done Christmas products are all over the stores. This creates a sad overlook over a holiday that has so many different loving benefits.

Thanksgiving is a time for family just like Christmas but the benefit for Thanksgiving is being able to spend time with family and friends without having to spend money on costumes and gifts for everyone. It creates an environment that can make everyone feel thankful and special bonding so family and friends can grow closer. Thanksgiving gets everyone in the kitchen to pitch in and for all those football fans out there the games are all on! This can also let the kids watch the morning parade before the games and lift the house with sounds of being happy laughter and love.

Food is always a good way to bring family together! Thanksgiving is a day of food and being thankful for everything you have in life. Its a time to put aside our differences and bond together as family and friends. This allows grandparents to bake with their grandchildren; for sons, brothers, fathers, even mothers and daughters to watch the parades and games and for everyone to end their days cuddle up with hot apple cider or hot chocolate going around the living room saying what you are thankful for.

So getting past the big decorations and giant scene Halloween or Christmas can cause Thanksgiving provides a calm and intimate way to reconnect with family! So have a great Thanksgiving!

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.
