Once Halloween comes and goes people are excited for Christmas to be here. They're all things Christmas. Even though, Thanksgiving hasn't passed they're all about Christmas. But now that Thanksgiving is over we can officially be excited for Christmas. From the music to the tree decorating and gift giving people are excited for Christmas for many many reasons!

Heres a list on what were excited during Christmas season;

1.) Decorating the Christmas tree

Growing up as kids we loved to decorate the tree because we loved seeing the tree and were excited about the presents but now that were growing up we decorate it because it can be fun and a stress relief.

2.) Seeing the Christmas lights

As kids we loved getting in the car and driving around town looking at the Christmas lights from home to home and just singing Christmas carols and making memories.

3.) Making Cookies

As college kids we look forward to eating in general. But eating the cookies once they're warm and fresh out of the oven is always a wonderful memory growing up. But now were more likely to eat the cookie dough over the actual cookie. Nothing wrong with that.

4.) Gift Giving

We as college kids sometimes don't know what we want for Christmas but do we ever really know? But when it comes to giving gifts to friends and family we already know exactly what were getting for them.

5.) White elephant gift exchange

We all love doing the white elephant gift exchange because its fun, easy and exciting. But getting to draw someones name and spend a limited amount of money just for fun, makes the gifts super memorable for everyone.

6.) Christmas Movies

We all love those super cheesy, classic Christmas movies we know all the words too. From the Christmas story to How the Grinch stole Christmas and we can't forget about Elf, and how we love all theses movies and even rewatch them during non winter seasons.

7.) Family bonding

Sometimes holidays bring families closer but they also can tear us apart. But we have to remember that the holidays are supposed to happy times. We love to cherish those special times together.

8.) Holiday food

Of course we can't forget about all the holiday food. As college kids we long for theses holidays for several home cooked meals and all the leftovers we can eat. Some look forward to the turkey, or the ham. While some of us are more excited about all the desserts such as pie or even homemade cookies.

No matter, how old we are we will always find something to cherish and enjoy making the memories around the holiday season.

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.
