One Holiday At A Time

From Happy Halloween to Merry Christmas

One Holiday At A Time

The holiday season is already upon us. Of course, we are all looking forward to the holiday cheer, music, family time, and delicious meals. But, it seems that each year every holiday comes faster and faster, premature to its actual celebration time frame.

Last Monday was just Halloween, and already department stores are covered in Christmas decorations and social media has taken over talking about Christmas music, baking holiday cookies, and putting up the Christmas tree. But, have we forgotten about Thanksgiving? With one of the most traditional holiday celebrations in our country just three weeks away, it seems to be pushed under the carpet.

One month stands between Halloween and "Christmas time" but apparently in many instances, November 1st means "Christmas time."

October 31st vs November 1st

I saw this post on twitter on Halloween, and I immediately thought it was funny, relatable and retweeted it. But the more I thought about it as the week went on and I continued to see similar posts, and hear people already talking about everything Christmas related I began to realize how rushed time and the holidays are. It's not necessary, and is overwhelming.

We need to live in the moment, and enjoy each celebration as it comes. Every season and each holiday brings its own set of good vibes, cheer, fun, love and moments.

Enjoy them, one at a time!

    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.

    It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

    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.
