5 Thoughts You Have Now That Christmas Is Over
https://picjumbo.com/ready-to-christmas-baking/

Christmas is a time of celebration and coming together with the people you love. Now that the day is behind us, it is time to think about what is next and to reflect on the previous days. Here are 5 thoughts you may have in the days following Christmas:

"I wonder when I will see them next"

Giphy

Christmas is a time to see people you don't see very often. Outside of the holidays, you may not see these people for months or even a year. It all depends on the family and the individual.

"Time to lose that weight"

Giphy

People always joke that they need to go to the gym after Christmas from eating all of that food. All the delicious food at Christmas might have put on a few pounds.

"There's only 52 weeks until next Christmas"

Giphy

The countdown has begun. We only have a year until next Christmas. Is it too late to start planning now?

"Time to go back to work"

Giphy

Most people have off Christmas (in reality everyone should but that is another story) and have to return to work the next day. Now that the holiday is over, it is time to resume your day-to-day activities. On the bright side, New Year's is only one week again.

"Time to return those unwanted gifts"

Giphy

Christmas brings presents, good and bad. Some people like to return gifts they know they will not use. After Christmas shopping is almost as busy as before Christmas.

Christmas is over but the fun does not have to end. Prepare for the new year and think ahead to 2020.

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.
