As we grow older so do our parents and grandparents, so do as much as you can with them while you all still can and make the most of it.

1. Have a game night

Nothing is better than hanging out and getting very competitive over a game of Uno, Monopoly, or Phase 10.

2. Build a gingerbread house

Make it a little more fun and get mini gingerbread houses and have a contest on who can make the best one.

3. Wear Christmas pajamas and watch Christmas movies.

This is also a super cute photo op to guarantee many Instagram likes and Facebook comments.

4. Learn to cook

This is a big one for me. My mom is letting me experiment in the kitchen a lot over this break. I hope it goes well.

5. Go to a candle light service

This is one of my all time favorites. Every Christmas Eve we go to my church and sing a-cappella religious Christmas songs. We have gone for as long as I can remember, and it gives me chills every year.

6. Go see Christmas lights

Christmas lights are beautiful, and most every city has very pretty displays for everyone to enjoy.

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.
