2. Christmas movies. Lots of them.

3. Drink some hot chocolate!

What says "It's wintertime and Christmas is here" better than your bed, a blanket and a nice, warm cup of hot cocoa? (Okay it's not wintertime YET, but it might as well be!)[rebelmouse-proxy-image https://media.rbl.ms/image?u=%2Ffiles%2F2016%2F12%2F02%2F636162348737472745639516425_another.gif&ho=https%3A%2F%2Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net&s=851&h=c8cd740b71d4a7988007fbdc2155f2c7cd3d9a092a593f04ae86b14ea7474fa3&size=980x&c=2258806627 crop_info="%7B%22image%22%3A%20%22https%3A//media.rbl.ms/image%3Fu%3D%252Ffiles%252F2016%252F12%252F02%252F636162348737472745639516425_another.gif%26ho%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Faz616578.vo.msecnd.net%26s%3D851%26h%3Dc8cd740b71d4a7988007fbdc2155f2c7cd3d9a092a593f04ae86b14ea7474fa3%26size%3D980x%26c%3D2258806627%22%7D" expand=1]
