5 Christmas Break Activities That Are Must-Dos

In This Article:

It's the most wonderful time of the year, especially because we get a break from school and don't have to worry about assignments.

While binge-watching all of your favorite shows on Netflix is a solid way to spend the break, if you want to get out of the house there are plenty of things for you to do. The holiday season creates lots of new events that don't usually happen during the rest of the year, like parades or tree lightings.

If you're looking to make your Christmas break memorable, use these five activities to have fun with your friends and family!

1. Ice Skating

This is especially fun for Southerners, like me, who do not typically get snow during the winter. Grab some of your friends and go ice skating and get hot chocolate or coffee after!!!

2. Baking

You don't even have to leave your house for this one. You could make sugar cookies and ice them or you could make a gingerbread house.

3. Go to the movies.

There are so many new movies being released during this season. Whether it's the 2018 version of "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" or "The Return Of Mary Poppins," you're bound to find something worth watching. You could even go watch the Nutcracker ballet.

4. Go see Christmas lights.

Driving around your neighborhood to see the lights is fun, especially with your favorite Christmas music. You could also go somewhere like Saluda Shoals where they have tons of Christmas lights for you to enjoy.

5. Throw an ugly sweater party!

What are the holidays without an ugly sweater party? Get all of your friends together to watch Christmas movies and eat good food all while wearing ugly Christmas sweaters. Don't forget to take Instagram pictures!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
