The holidays are officially upon us, and no city does Christmas cheer quite like Cleveland. Whether it's going riding the Polar Express in Cuyahoga Falls or visiting the "Christmas Story" house, there's a lot of winter-time activities to do around these neck of the woods.

1. Ride the Polar Express

A more unconventional way to spend winter: go on a train ride!

2. Go to local stores and Christmas shop

Not only is Christmas the perfect holiday to spend time with family, it's also the perfect excuse to go shopping! Luckily for us, Ohio has the perfect mix of independent businesses and chains, so you'll be able to find the perfect gift for everyone!

3. Visit the Christmas Story house

A Christmas Story House

If you're from Ohio, one thing is certain: you watch "A Christmas Story" every year, and if you don't, are you really from Ohio?!

So, why not take a trip downtown and check out the infamous house?!

4. See “Glow!” at Cleveland Botanical Gardens

If there's one thing Clevelanders does best, it's sports, so why not spend the holiday season watching the Cleveland Monsters?

6. Staying in and watching Christmas movies

Because why go out when you can stay inside and watch one of those classic stop motion films?

7. Go see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra

If you're wanting to find something that isn't the norm, why not go see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra as they bring their Ghosts Of Christmas Eve event to Quicken Loans Arena on Dec. 30. For further information, and to get your tickets, you can go here!

8. Baking Christmas cookies

Much like number six, who on earth would you want to go outside when you can just stay inside and enjoy the warmth? An even better thing to do is bake some christmas cookies!

9. Go Christmas lights gazing

Christmas Lights

Ohio has some interesting sights when they want to, and there's quite a few places that go all out when it comes to the holidays. If you want to see where the nearest Christmas lights displays are, you can do so by going here!

10. Snowed In

See on Instagram

What better way of spending a night than going to a full evening show with a bunch of amazing bands? Hot Mulligan and Knocked Loose on the same bill? Uh sign us up immediately! The show is Dec. 21 and you can get your tickets here!

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself?
