The 5 Kinds of Christmas Trees

Twas the week before Christmas, and the time has come for trying to please as many friends and family as possible with a schedule of Christmas events. As you go to everyone's homes, you'll see an array of different trees. Listed below are the qualities of each.

1. The fake tree.

Growing with popularity over time are these convenient replacements for actually picking out a Christmas tree. Every year, the owners of these trees climb into the attic and pick the different parts of the tree out of the box and click them together, and with one swift movement, the tree is complete! The owners of these trees are satisfied with nothing to clean up, and wanting to still feel the spirit of Christmas in their home, they’ll probably buy an evergreen candle in replacement for the fresh tree smell.

2. The perfectionist tree.

This tree has every ornament color coordinated and evenly distributed, even in the back. The owner of this tree needs their house to be picture-perfect for Christmas and will probably host one or multiple events at their house throughout the season. This owner also probably didn't let anyone else help them decorate, because any helper wouldn’t put the correct ornaments on the appropriate branches.

3. The themed tree.

This Christmas tree owner is passionate about something, and this is probably their second tree. It could be a fad, television show or sports team, but this tree is decked out in spirit for something other than Christmas. When this tree is seen, you know that its owner has surpassed the level of love for something, because it is no longer appropriate to simply have a few ornaments representing their spirit. It has become an obsession.

4. The modern tree.

This tree mirrors that of the perfectionist, but is a color other than green to prove that they’re up to speed with new and changing times. The owner of this tree is most likely up to date with all of the new trends, and all of their friends know this to be true, so when they sport the Christmas tree that is in fact not green at all, no one is surprised.

5. The traditional tree.

This tree definitely does not happen in one swift motion. It is picked out in a group effort of carefully examining every texture and branch, if not chopped down personally by its owner. When it is strapped to the roof of the car, its owners probably take part in the post-tree tradition of eating at the same restaurant or buying a new ornament. The tree leaves a trail of needles after being trudged into the house and screwed into the stand, and the countless amount of boxes of ornaments have been brought out to be arranged in a seemingly random, but purposeful order. With every ornament brought out comes the story of it, and decorating this tree is a time of never ending conversation.

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.
