How It Feels To Love Christmas With A Halloween Obsessed Best Friend

Dedicated to my ginger, fangirling, halloween loving weirdo.

How It Feels To Love Christmas With A Halloween Obsessed Best Friend
Annika Soderfelt

My best friend is the single greatest person ever, but she definitely has her quirks. They're not bad, but they definitely make her a unique bundle of joy.

She has fiery red hair, and she is a class A fangirl. I call her Merida Ackles, and her ginger headed weirdness is one of the things that makes me happier than anything.

One of the biggest bones of contention between us is the argument of what the best holiday is.

See, it's normal to have a favorite holiday, but we both have unhealthy addictions. She swears by Halloween, and I will forever fight for Christmas. She starts pulling out pumpkin emojis and scary movies the moment September hits.

I listen to year-round Christmas carols, and I have everyone's presents by Halloween.

I face the struggles of her obsessive texts....


The constant snaps...


And, of course, the Twitter spam.



I'm not completely innocent of this level of addiction, of course. I have videos of me singing Christmas carols in July, I already have all my friends' presents for the year, and there are already decorations up in my dorm. I have a problem.

I know this. But I think that my problem is slightly less concerning because, let's be real, it's Christmas. Let me know what you think. This is a serious matter for serious people.

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.
