I don’t know about your family, but the day after Thanksgiving is when my family begins all of our Christmas festivities. Christmas music, lights, trees, decorations, and clothing are all important during this time.

1. Christmas Music

If you don’t like Christmas music, then you are not human…Honestly I look forward to Christmas time just for the music. You know December is a special time of the year if it has its own kind of music.


2. Decorating

When you think decorating your room for Christmas is more important than writing a paper, you know you love Christmas (totally me….)! Without all the decorations Christmas time would be boring!

3. Christmas Clothing

Ok, so I know not everyone will promote Christmas on their clothing, but will wear Christmas colors. Everyone knows that when you were little your mom made you wear a Christmas dress or a sweater and tie. They were most likely red and green plaid and for the girls we all know one year our mom forced us to wear a Santa dress that has the white fur on the bottom and cuffs of the dress, am I right? For now we just stick with Christmas colors or sweaters.

4. Christmas Movies

I live for Christmas movies!!!! "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" by Jeffrey Price and Peter S. Seaman is my all time favorite! Everyone has their favorite Christmas movie even if they deny it...

5. JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!!

This is the most important thing!!!! As fun as it is to listen to all the silly, cute songs about Santa and Frosty the Snowman, all the decorations, movies, and wearing warm clothes, the main reason we should be excited for the holidays is because of Jesus's birth! Sometimes people get caught up in all the holiday hustle and they forget about the true meaning of Christmas. Jesus is the reason for the season!

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.
