It's that time of year again! The snow is falling, the fire is crackling, and Bing Crosby is playing on the radio; it's Christmas time! While there are so many wonderful things about the holiday season, it can also be a little stressful. So who better to walk you through some of the emotions you'll feel leading up to Christmas than our favorite characters from "The Office"?

1. Watching the first snowfall

Watching those first few flakes fall from the sky is a magical moment that must be witnessed by all.

2. Decorating the house

Blasting Trans-Siberian Orchestra and throwing tinsel around like it's nobody's business.

3. Listening to Christmas music

Fa la la la la, la la la la!

4. Thinking of gifts for everyone on your list

Let's see, I have $40 in my bank account and 10 people to get gifts for....

5. "Enjoying" the cold

Yeah, it's super festive almost slipping every 10 feet and being able to see your breath inside of your car.

6. Crowded malls

But seriously, where did all these people come from?

7. Waiting for packages to arrive

I know it said the arrival date was December 21st, but you never know, it could come early.

8. Being extra kind and showing everyone the "holiday spirit"

Gotta keep yourself on Santa's Nice List.

9. Wrapping gifts

Why does it have to be so hard??

10. Christmas baking

Looking forward to all of your favorite Christmas treats...

...and having a meltdown when someone forgot to make them.

11. When you just want to know who your Secret Santa is

Enough with the suspense, I just wanna know.

12. When Winter Break finally starts

Done! Done with tests, done with group assignments, and done with walking 20 minutes in the freezing cold to class!

13. Attending Christmas parties

Lights, sweaters, music, and copious amounts of mulled wine and cider.

14. Treating yourself

It's the holidays, you deserve it.

15. Getting a little sick of the Christmas music

How many versions of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" can there be?

16. Being watched as you open your gifts

Yes, I've always wanted a sweater with a light-up snowman on it...!

17. Feeling extra generous

"That is a perfectly good mini-tree, Kevin, and we are going to sell that to charity. That is what Christmas is all about."

18. Quality family time

Whether you love being around everyone in your family or have some people that are harder to deal with, Christmas brings about plenty of family time.

19. When you finally run out of money

That $40 only goes so far.

20. Breathing a sigh of relief on Christmas Day

When the day finally arrives you feel blessed to be happy, healthy, and spending the season with family.

In the words of Michael Gary Scott, "Christmas is awesome. First of all, you get to spend time with people you love. Secondly, you can get drunk and no one can say anything. Third, you give presents. What's better than giving presents? And fourth, getting presents. So, four things. Not bad for one day. It's really the greatest day of all time."

Happy holidays, everyone!

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.
