December is the month where neighborhoods put on their Christmas lights. Christmas lights show their Christmas spirit. During the daytime, the lights are not on. At nighttime, the lights are on. They blend with the night. They make the dark not scary as you drive. The lights are very beautiful and colorful. You can look at them as you drive to your destination. Christmas lights show that people are passionate about Christmas. These lights make us feel the spirit as well.

This year, a lot of houses have Christmas lights. Some houses have more Christmas lights than they did before. I would like to see it soon this month. I recall that my family and I go around the neighborhoods to see the Christmas lights. Each house has its own lights and decorations. Some houses have fewer lights and decorations. Other houses have more lights and decorations. I heard that some houses are competing with other houses when it comes to Christmas lights.

My family and I do not put on Christmas lights. Some family members think that we should while one family member thinks that we should not. We have to buy Christmas lights and they can be very expensive. Also, it takes a lot of time and effort to put Christmas lights on our house. The more lights you have, the more work you have. Some houses have a lot of lights. That means that the people living in those houses used a lot of time and effort to put them up.

After Christmas is over, neighborhoods start to put away their lights and decorations. Some houses still kept their lights on for a while until late winter. I miss the lights and decorations. However, I know that they will come back next Christmas. Do you put Christmas lights on your house? Do you like looking at Christmas lights?

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.
