10 Random Acts Of Kindness That Will Stop You From Grinching Out This Christmas
Universal Pictures

The Christmas season is a time to spread kindness to ones you know and to those you do not. We should all try to remember it's not just about the gifts you get, but the love you give. Sometimes it's hard to not be a grinch but with these acts of kindness, you'll stay far from turning green!

1. Pay it forward 

If you're in the Starbucks line, Taco Bell line or any drive-thru for that matter, pay for the person's items behind you. I'm sure it'll make their day and keep them smiling.

2. Become the "Cake Boss"

Bake some cookies or cupcakes and give them to your friends! Hand them out to everyone! I mean who doesn't have a sweet tooth?!?

3. Stick up some positivity

Buy some sticky notes and write some sunshine filled messages on them. Hang them up in random places and I'm sure they'll warm up someone's heart.

4. Help the homeless

Collect some scarves and gloves and give them to the homeless or leave them places where you have seen them. No one deserves to be cold this Christmas season.

5. Hide some dollars around the dollar store

I saw this act of kindness idea online recently and I thought it was cool. Just hide some dollar bills around a dollar store and some lucky finder who needs it will be blessed.

6. Give your waiter/waitress a generous tip!

Be extra generous and give them a few more dollars then you should once you calculate that tip! They are always working hard.

7. Buy dessert for someone eating alone 

It always makes me sad to see a little old man or woman eating out by themselves or anyone really. Send a dessert to their table to know the don't have to be alone this Christmas.

8. SMILE!

When you're out and about, just send smiles peoples way. Smiles can always have an impact on someone's day.

9. Compliment someone 

Nothing feels better than a random compliment you weren't expecting. Build someone's confidence this season.

10. Candy cane bomb

Put candy canes on the windshields of all of the cars in a parking lot or put them in random mailboxes! Just a little tasty surprise.

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.
