Take advantage of the Florida weather.

How To Celebrate Christmas Like A Floridian

1. Take your Christmas card picture at the beach

Instead of spending December inside, huddling near a fire for warmth, you can head to the beach and catch some sun rays. Make sure all your Northern family members know that you're still living in warm weather by sending out a beach themed Christmas card. Bonus points if everyone in the picture is wearing shorts!

2. Make a trip to Disney

While Disney has a reputation for being the happiest place on Earth, it is also one of the most festive places on Earth during the holiday season. From the decorations to the parades, Disney is the place to be during the month of December and, for Floridians, it's just a short trip away!

3. Christmas Movie Marathon

Everyone has a favorite holiday movie so the best way to see them all is to round up the gang and binge watch them. To take advantage of the Florida weather, marathon all of these movies outside with the help of a projector. Lay back on some blankets and enjoy the cool (not cold) night air.

4. Build a Sandman

Because Floridians don't have to deal with the wet mess that is snow, our snowmen are distinctly unique. Celebrate the warm weather with a sand-made snowman next time you go to the beach! Make sure to share a picture on social media to reiterate to your friends that you live in a warm-weather state.
5. Nights of Lights

Saint Augustine dresses up their historic buildings with lights so that the entire downtown area shines. Take a festive trolley ride and sing along to Christmas carols as you are driven past the best houses. End the night with a drink at the Tini Martini Bar, one of the best-decorated locations in the city!

6. Florida Decorations


Get more creative as you decorate for Christmas. Instead of the traditional reindeer statues in your yard put up some plastic flamingoes with Santa hats. Light up your palm trees along with your house. Even top your tree with a fake starship rather than the typical star.

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.
