What Christmas Shopping For Your Family Will REALLY Be Like, As Told By 'The Grinch'
Warner Bros. TV

Shopping for yourself can be difficult, but now it's time to think of what to get your parents that they already haven't gotten for themselves. Here's how you are probably feeling, Grinch-style.

1. When you overhear your dad talking about a commercial for something he thought was cool

2. Realizing you have no idea what to get your siblings but you're going to try your best

3. Finally getting your butt to the mall and buying everything on your list

4. Knowing you did good after your mom says she wants the thing you already bought for her

5. Worrying because you have one sibling left to buy gifts for and you still have no idea what to get them

6. Finally thinking of something for them and you get your butt to the mall again

7. Sneakily putting all of your gifts under the tree when no one is looking

8. Anxiously waiting for Christmas morning because you're just not sure you got the right gifts

10. Feeling your heart grow two sizes bigger after spending an incredibly  happy morning with your family, even if your dad wasn't super excited about that new blanket

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.
