If you love Christmas, then doing these activities will help you get into that holiday spirit. Christmas time is a wonderful opportunity to bond with loved ones and to really give to those in need or just out of the goodness in your heart. There is always something to do during the holidays whether you participate in a 5k run, or have a fun day with family. These festive activities will help you channel your giving spirit, and these activities can be fun for everyone.

1. Go ice skating

If you don't have super cold weather where you live, then go to an ice skating rink and act like you do. The activity is fun if you can ice skate, but it can be hilarious if you have never skated a day in your life!

2. Christmas Karaoke

Who doesn't like singing All I want for Christmas is you by Mariah Carey? I love that song when it's Christmas time. I never miss a chance to sing it!

3. Watch Christmas movies, and drink hot cocoa.

A few of my favorite Christmas movies are How the Grinch stole Christmas, Home Alone, and The Polar Express. Drinking hot cocoa just adds warmth to this activity.

4. Make homemade ornaments

This could be a lovely Christmas traditions for couples and for families.

5. Take Christmas themed pictures

You can take Christmas pictures of your dogs dressed up in holiday clothing, or you can take family group pictures and make Christmas cards.

6. Decorate the Christmas tree

Filling the tree with lights and ornaments is one of my favorite parts of Christmas. It can make your surroundings look so festive.

7. Holly jolly dance off

I recommend that you do this with friends, and I think it's so funny to just have a whole Christmas dance-off. Once you win the dance off I don't know if you will still have friends afterward (hopefully they aren't sore losers), but regardless its still fun!

8. Bake Christmas cookies

The pillsbury Christmas cookies are delicious, but homemade baked cookies with frosting gets me every time.

9. Take a drive to see neighborhood decorations

I don't know about you, but I enjoy seeing other people be festive. Seeing them be festive makes me want to be even more festive.

10. Donate or volunteer

This holiday season is always a chance to give back. Getting into that giving spirit will not only bless someone else, but that blessing will come back to you. Plus, even if you don't want to give people objects, you can always give blood because someone is always in need of that.

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.
