Most big cities have displays that showcase the beautiful Christmas decorations that you can take your car through. Some require tickets or a reservation but it is often fairly affordable. This way, you can experience the magic of Christmas in a safe way. A free way to experience the lights is to simply drive through neighborhoods with some hot cocoa and cookies!

Because of COVID-19 people will often drive through neighborhoods in packs decorated to the nines in red and green lights and tinsel. People watch from their porches or out their windows. Sometimes the parades will have fun holiday characters sitting on the back of the cars. Watch for these events in your neighborhood newsletter.

Sure you can do this any year but 2020 is definitely the year to start. Fun ideas you can bring into your living room includes setting up a movie theatre, a dance party, or to set up some mini golf courses in your backyard. This idea relies on your creativity.

This category is obviously broad. One famous holiday treat that has been surging on TikTok is Hot Cocoa bombs.

This holiday treat turns a cup of steaming hot milk into delicious hot cocoa in a flash. There's always gingerbread houses and Christmas cookies that remain the reigning holiday classic. This is a great year to improve your skills and try something new.


Stay safe, and Happy Holidays!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
