2015 Christmas Bucketlist

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Right? Well, even if you are a total Grinch, here are 25 things to do this Christmas season to get you into the spirit.

1. Decorate a Christmas tree.

2. Have a snowball war.

Yes, a war, because regular snowball fights are boring.

3. Go see Santa.

Go grab some friends and be the oldest ones in line for a picture with Santa. It'll be a great picture.

4. Go sledding.

5. Build a gingerbread house.

6. Bake cookies.

Don't eat all of them but, instead, make some cookie plates for friends and neighbors.

7. Go see the Christmas lights around town.

8. Take a Christmas card picture.

Break out the ugly Christmas gear and pose for a few photos.

9. Watch "A Christmas Story."

Is it really even Christmas if you don't watch it at least once during TBS's 24-hour marathon?

10. Watch "How The Grinch Stole Christmas."

11. Watch "Elf."

It's the symbol of Christmas time.

12. Take a sleigh ride.

13. Buy presents for Angel Tree.

Angel Tree helps gives children with incarcerated parents a happy holiday season.

14. Go to a Christmas concert.

15. Listen to Christmas music.

And sing along at the top of your lungs.

16. Drink a lot of hot chocolate.

Nothing says Christmas like hot chocolate with a million marshmallows in a cute winter cup while watching a movie.

17. Build a snowman.

18. Have a Christmas party.

19. Drink eggnog or, at least, try it.

20. Have a throwback day and watch old Christmas episodes of all your favorite cartoons.

You'll find me watching "Rugrats" and "The Fairly Odd Parents" Christmas specials on Christmas morning.

21. Go last minute Christmas shopping with the crazy crowds.

Do you remember that scene in " Mean Girls" where all the girls are fighting about the book and it's a madhouse? That's the mall on Christmas Eve. Go try and shop in it—it's quite the adrenaline rush.

22. Go ice skating.

23. Go see a new Christmas movie in theaters.

Currently you can go see "The Night Before" or "Krampus".

24. Buy an ugly Christmas sweater.

If you bought one last year, then try to get an uglier one this year.

25. Enjoy the day and share a few laughs with your family.

When It comes down to it, that is what Christmas is all about—family. Even when they drive you absolutely crazy, Christmas is about being thankful for them and reminding them of it.

Just remember: “Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more!” - Dr. Seuss.

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.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.
