It's the holiday season! Whether you celebrate Christmas, Kwanza, Hanukkah, or another holiday, there are many amazing things to do this time of the year! It's important to spread cheer, not just to your friends and family, but to strangers who need help during this time too. Watch the classic Christmas movies, spend time with the family, count your blessings, and make the best of the season!
1. Spread the holiday cheer!
2. Go ice skating...maybe with someone special?
3. Bake cookies. Many people have a family tradition of baking cookies together. Just because you may be away from home, don't let that stop the tradition! Bake with the family when you get home or bake with friends.
4. Do something nice for someone else. Whether you volunteer at the food bank, donate clothes to charity, or volunteer at the animal shelter, try to make someone else smile. Remember, it's the holiday of giving, not just receiving.
5. If you have colder weather, make snow angels and participate in other winter activities like snowball fights!
6. Build a snowman!
7. Watch classic Christmas movie because what would Christmas be without "The Polar Express"?
8. Decorate with some Christmas lights, but remember to take the necessary safety precautions!
9. Decorate the Christmas tree! Please don't get the upside-down ones that hold more presents, classic Christmas trees are much better.
10. Regardless of age, embrace Santa!
11. It may be annoying when played in October, but embrace the Christmas music.
12. It's finals time. Take some time and decorate your dorm. It'll change things up a bit and remind you how close you are to break (both motivating you to finish your work and exciting you for the time off)!
13. See a Christmas play, remembering why the holiday is celebrated and supporting your community.
14. When thinking about gifts to get people, consider making some by hand. Buying things from the store are nice, but it'll show how much time and thought you put into it if you make some yourself.
15. Spread love and feel blessed for all the amazing people in your life.
16. Whatever you end up doing, have a wonderful time and do whatever and eat whatever you want.
17. Have fun!
