What I Do During The Holiday Season

What is everyone Christmas tradition during this wonderful Christmas holiday?

My Christmas tradition is going to my uncle's house the night of the 23 to kick off the Christmas holiday season What we do is we open secret Santa gifts, eat a bunch of food and we play bingo. The way that we pick secret Santa is by writing down names and picking them out of a hat. What we eat that night is sauce with fried fish. By the end of the night we open the presents and we play bingo for money.

The night of Christmas Eve we go to my aunt's house and we do a grab bag and eat so much good food from fish, to pasta and sauce, sometimes some kind of protein and for dessert we eat a bunch of sweet things and drink coffee, tea, and hot coco; and for the adults we drink alcohol with dinner and dessert. For the grab bags, we write numbers down for anyone who want to play and whatever number you pick that was the number you pick for your gift.

Christmas morning we open up presents at my mom's house, then we just relax after that. After we relax that's when we will start to get ready and then we go to my dad's house and we open up more presents there. This year for Christmas Day, we have a new tradition where my dad is going to have Christmas day at his house, and d secret Santa as well. We always eat so much food from homemade sauce, to stuffed shrimp and homemade Italian cookies and we just end up having a good time.

During the Christmas season, I love eating all of the good food, opening all of the present and seeing all of the trees in front of everyone's windows and seeing all of the different lights outside everyone's houses. I love seeing everything covered in the white snow during Christmas time, it makes Christmas so much better.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Everyone!

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.
