Christmas Came And Went, Now To New Years

The Aftermath of Christmas

Christmas Came And Went, Now To New Years
Becky Tarbush

Joy to the World, Christmas has came with mountains of goodies for all the boys and girls! I don't know about you but I am happy it has finally come, for several reasons: 1. I get to have amazing food, 2. I get to unwrap presents, I mean those two things go hand and hand and I wouldn't want anything else. 3. I can finally relax from the hustle and bustle and spend time with my family, for us holidays are crazy with various places to go to and end up being exhausted by the end of the day. The days after Christmas are nice cause we can unwind and just be lazy, or at least me, because my mom cannot handle doing nothing for too long. (If you know my mom personally then you would totally agree, ps. mom, I mentioned you this time. Happy? ;) ) For my family we start Christmas on Christmas Eve, weird isn't but I wouldn't want it any differently. Any who I thought why not still spread the Christmas cheer with a few pictures I took:

1. This adorable picture of my cousin, Reagan, and me. She was obsessed with taking Snapchats and just having fun with the filters especially this one, and even her little brother, Logan joined in for the fun down below.

2. This picture is too cute in my eyes, because 1. I got both of them to smile and 2. I got Logan in a picture for once. I think they loved playing with my phone more than hanging with me, and I am sure their mom was happy not having to run around everywhere for once. Your welcome Melanie! I mean look how adorable they are!

3. Spending Christmas morning at my aunt's house and hanging with this diva of a cousin, Finley. She was so excited Santa had visited and showed us all the teacher gifts she got, I don't know of any other kid who loves teaching more than her and absolutely idolizes my mom besides me and my brother. If you haven't noticed yet with many of these pictures kids love taking snapchats and using filters, I can't help but take fun pictures with them anyway.

This Christmas has been one for the books, no literally we broke a record for it being the warmest Christmas ever, but seriously I would't want my Christmas to be any different. I hope you had a wonderful day with friends and family and ring in the New Year with a bang! Let us hope that 2017 is better than this year.

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.
