For starters, Merry f------ Christmas. Because it is Christmas, a holiday season meant for cheer and laughter and love. Not bitterness, saltiness, and bitchiness. If you forgot…

I get it, Christmas isn’t for everyone. Not everyone celebrates Christmas which is fine, but for those of us that thoroughly enjoy this time of year I am going to kindly ask you to piss off. I deal with your attitude, your judgmental looks, your snide comments, your eye rolls, every other day of the year. But the time after thanksgiving all the way up into the first of the new year is a “no negativity” time. You can be mean and nasty whenever you want except for this time of year.

What is there to even be mad at? Snow is starting to fall and stick, so it’s pretty outside and you can take as many snaps and post as many instas and get a plethora of likes. It’s much colder outside so drink some tea or hot chocolate to warm up your belly. Make some cookies, everyone loves cookies. Plus, since it is so cold you have a great excuse to get your crush to come over and cuddle. Excitement is everywhere, people hustling and bustling to buy the ones they love the perfect gift, families coming together, smiles being shared among everyone, just pure happiness. Everyone is so happy and cheery around christmas time. It is truly magical so what is your problem with all of this?

Be with your friends, people that make you happy and be happy with them. I understand that those of us in college are stressing over finals right now, which can make cherishing the holiday season a little tough, but having a mean and negative attitude is not going to help you destress. Not to mention that your bad attitude is affecting everyone around you.

Your grumpiness is not pleasant to be around. All I want to do is enjoy my favorite time of year, basking in the magicalness of it all and you're ruining it. So, if you’re going to have an attitude and be mean and negative please just go. I don’t need that kind of negativity in my life, nor do I want it. I do not know why you feel it necessary to be so triggered all of the time, it’s not healthy. Try to see the beauty in the Christmas season.

Don’t be a scrooge… and if you must, do it elsewhere.

Merry Christmas!

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
