5 Christmas Things I Love To Do

Not everyone has a fabulous Christmas, but it's the meaning we get out of it.

December has finally come, and I just wanted to list a few of my favorite things to do around this holly jolly time of year. I wanted to share with you all some of the fun things you can do to get in the Christmas spirit.

1. Binge Watch Christmas Movies All Day

This is one of my favorite things to do, as "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" and "Elf" are just a couple of my favorite movies to watch over and over again around the holiday season. Also, Freeform (we used to know it as ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas) is also addicting to watch. Netflix also has some great Christmas movies out right now.

2. Bake Christmas Cookies and Goodies

You can never go wrong with the Christmas sweets and the classic sugar cookie. Sometimes, I'm lazy and I just grab the Pillsbury pack of sugar cookies from the grocery store. I love having a variety of Christmas goodies, though, such as peanut brittle, layer bars, chocolate-covered pretzels, seasonal cupcakes, Bing Bars, and a whole lot more goodies.

3. Drive Around and Look at Christmas Lights

One of my favorite things to do around the holiday season is drive around at night and look at Christmas lights. It kind of makes you feel like a little kid again and hypes you up in the Christmas spirit. All the lights, blow-ups, trees, and wreaths -- you just can't go without it.

4. Listen to Christmas Music

I actually recently got Apple Music and I have every Christmas song and playlist you can imagine. Pandora, Spotify and even some radio stations play Christmas music or have certain stations for Christmas Music. It's something I enjoy while looking at Christmas lights or just in general, as I also like listening to it on the way to work or school.

5. Christmas Gifts and Giving Back

I love Christmas shopping and I love giving back to others. Not everyone has a fabulous Christmas, but it's the meaning we get out of it -- of people getting together. For me, I love giving back to those in need around the holiday season. No child or person should go without food, a coat, or even love during Christmas, so I do my best to give back to the community, as I've known people who suffered or are homeless, and I think it's something we as human beings need to think twice about.

These are just a few of my favorite Christmasy things to do!

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.
