Since many of us are just ending our finals week and slowly starting to wind down and relax. We don't have much time before the big day comes and there are just so many things that need to be done beforehand. While amidst all of these crazy and Christmas-filled days ahead, take a step back and do the things that you love and enjoy, too. What are those things, you ask?

1. Go Around Town and Look at the Christmas Lights

Christmas lights are some of the most beautiful things you will see during the Christmas time, so go scope them out. Whether you take a walk around the house near you or you take a drive, those lights, for some reason, have an ability to really bring out the warmth of Christmas.

2. Make Christmas Cookies or Gingerbread Men

These things are a must because what is better than having a house full of the smell of sweetness and sugar.

3. Decorate the House

Is it really Christmas without all of the elaborate Christmas decorations? I don't think so! Get in the spirit and start decorating!

4. Build a Gingerbread House

You don't have to be a professional or anything! All you have to do is have fun and get into the spirit!

5. Listen to Christmas Music Almost All of the Time

As the day gets nearer and nearer, the more the Christmas music should be blasting! Nothing else quite gets you in the mood for decorating the house either!

6. Help Out with a Charity!

There are so many who need a little extra support this time of year and it's so fulfilling to put yourself out there and to help those in need. You will truly feel thankful for the opportunity!

7. Light a Fire in the Fireplace

The warmth that comes from that fire and just sitting beside it feeling warm as well; there's nothing better.

8. Watch Christmas Movies

Whether it is a bunch of classics or if its Hallmark Christmas movies, take the time to sit down, cuddle into a blanket and watch some holiday movies!

9. Spend Time with the People You Love

Sometimes in all of the craziness, we forget to cherish the time we have with those we love and the ones who mean the most to us. Whether it's your family or boyfriend or friend, cherish them. Let them know you appreciate them and love them.

10. CRAFT

Get creative and let loose! There are some simple things that we forget to do with such busy lives. It's important to take a break from rushing around and being stressed, so do something your inner little kid would love to do! Make something!

11. Go to Christkindlmarket

Eat good food, bring good company, laugh, smile, and shop!
