Christmas is right around the corner and if your family is like mine, it's sure to be a weekend filled with big family gatherings where you are grilled about your love life and deprived of alcohol. And who better to encompass what Christmas with the family is like than Nick Miller.

1. When you first walk into the house to see all of your family members and the evening flashes before your eyes.

It's going to be a long night.

2. When your mom sees your face and tells you to be friendly.

Friendly is not a word in my vocabulary.

3. When you see a family member coming over to talk to you so you have to psych yourself up.

Here we go.

4. When the first question you get asked is if you've found a boyfriend yet.

The answer hasn't changed.

5. When the family starts talking politics at dinner.

Make that 12 alcohols.

6. When dinner is over but you realize you still have to spend about five more hours here.

WHEN WILL IT END?

7. When your grandmother starts asking you incredibly personal questions.

Please don't ask me about my sex life grandma.

8. When your incredibly successful cousin starts talking about how much money they have.

*Has $2 in bank account.*

9. When you're saying goodbye and your family starts telling you that they love you and will miss you.

Ew.

10. When you finally get home and realize you survived and that your family really isn't that bad.

There's truly nothing like family during the holidays.

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.
