When will the stuffing be ready?

10 Reasons Why It's Time To Wait Impatiently For The Holiday Feast
Huff Post

If you are a human being (or even alive), then there's a good chance you eat food. You probably enjoy food, too. Maybe you eat holiday food, maybe you enjoy it, maybe you take it one step further and holiday food is pretty much your only will to live. Let's hope at least the first applies to you as you must eat to survive. And you have to eat to please your grandma. Holiday food is where it's at. I mean, all food is where it's at, but, lets be real, holiday food is superior to regular food for no real reason. So here is a list of the best (or worst?) holiday foods that you'll hopefully get to enjoy this winter! (Spoiler alert: I left out the meats because we need to focus on more important things--the side dishes.)

1. Pumpkin pie

I know there are many, many poor souls that don't enjoy pumpkin pie, but I can't leave it off the list. It practically is the list! The fluffy whipped topping and appealing orange filling demands to be eaten and never disappoints.

2. Stuffing

I don't care who you are, if you don't like stuffing then I don't like you. Stuffing is quite possibly one of the best inventions ever and we have been blessed to be alive during a time in which stuffing exists for our own consumption.

3. Mashed potatoes

Mashed potatoes aren't technically a seasonal food, but they taste better during the holidays. Maybe it's because you can pair them with turkey, gravy and bread.

4. Gravy

Mashed potatoes, paired with gravy might just be the best part of the holiday season. Maybe you mix your stuffing in, maybe you get some bread in on it. However you eat it, it's delicious.

5. Green bean casserole

I suppose this might be somewhat midwestern, but nonetheless delicious (whether you call it a hot dish or a casserole).

6. Hot chocolate

Not a food, but hot chocolate is delicious and deserves recognition. If you're looking to switch it up, try peppermint hot chocolate!

7. Christmas cookies

Whether they're the cheap, store bought, magically delicious cookies or the homemade, frosted cookies, they are always amazing and so much fun to make!

8. Gingerbread cookies

I don't understand why I love and hate these equally or why they are so perfect. Can anyone explain?

9. Eggnog

Eggnog is simply a requirement for the holidays. And, if you're over 21, then you should probably spike it. I don't know, just seems like a tradition.

10. Bread

Bread might be the best thing to ever be invented. No matter what form it takes, it always goes perfectly with whatever you're eating. For the holidays, it's especially delicious with mashed potatoes and gravy.

It's not quite time to enjoy these wonderful holiday foods, but 'tis the season and the holidays are indeed approaching. I couldn't be more excited. Did I make you drool? And if this isn't you when it's turkey 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.

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.
