The Post-Christmas Blues are Upon Us, Folks

Get out your boxes to start packing up all the holiday cheer. Oh, and also get your tissues ready:(

So another Christmas season has come and gone in the blink of an eye, and if you go hard in the paint when it comes to holiday festivites like I do, there are so many things to miss about Christmas that you might be at risk of being sent into a mini depression session when it's over.

Here's just a few of the things we'll all miss. There are simply too many to gather into one post.... #RIP

All the holiday baking (!!!)

Ever since I could help in the kitchen without being more of a hassle than I was worth, I've helped my mom with all of the Christmas baking. And as soon as I hit 13, all of the baking responsibilities passed on to be so mom could do other things. Whether you're the one doing all the baking or eating everything that someone else has baked, you're gonna miss it. (But your skinny jeans won't!)

The Christmas Blend from Starbucks

THIS STUFF IS THE BOMB. Yes, I wrote a certain hate post about a certain Starbucks drink a couple of months ago, but consider this the absolute opposite of a hate post. If you haven't tried this blend, too late, gotta wait till next year because it's officially out of stock at all Starbucks locations come December 26th :///

Christmas music

I may be one of those people that listens to Christmas music way too early, but I draw the line at Post-Christmas-Listening. How sad. How desperate.

The fact that literally EVERYONE is happy ALL OF THE TIME

There's nothing like it. Why is (almost) every person in the world more pleasant when it comes to the holidays? I don't understand it, but it's so nice that I won't question it.

The Decorations

Well, maybe your decorations take a while to come down. But when it's time to pack them all up I feel like I'm wrapping up a little piece of my soul and throwing it into the back of my attic. Anyone else? No? Okay.

Reliving the magic of childhood...

media.giphy.com

After 18 long years of deliberation, I've decided that people love the Christmas season so much because they can reminisce (no, not in the sad "I'm forty yeras old and still haven't moved on from my high school glory days" kind of way!) on being a kid and experiencing the most magical thing ever. Besides Disney World, obviously.

Yes, I am aware that I'm being a little dramatic. Frankly, I can't remember the last time I wasn't overly dramatic. But the passing of the most wonderful time of the year calls for a little drama!

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.
