Finding the Christmas spirit on a college campus may sometimes be a difficult task. However, with these 5 easy tasks, you will be feeling festive in no time.
1. Decorate your dorm
Glamming up your room is an easy step that will put you in the Chrismas spirit and make your dorm feel cozy and festive. This year, my roommate and I have Christmas lights strung around the entire room with ornaments hung on each light. We are planning to get a fake small Christmas tree to put in the corner of our room as well.
2. Secret Santa with your friends
What's better than buying and receiving a gift from your closest friends? Secret Santa is not only a way to get in the Christmas mood, but it is also a great bonding experience to have. This year, my friends and I have chosen to do comical gifts that are personalized and I can't wait to search for the perfect gift.
3. Go to a nice dinner at Armory Square
I know that back home, going into Boston during Christmastime was one of the best ways to get in the Christmas mood. I was happy to find out that right here in Armory Square, an ice skating rink and a Christmas tree gets put in the middle of it. Dressing up and going to dinner with all of your friends to then see the tree lighting is a great way to experience Christmas away from home.
4. Watch a group Christmas movie
Nothing is more festive than watching the Grinch while drinking hot chocolate. Set up some bean bags and lights in your common room and gather all of your friends. There is nothing better than singing along to these festive songs!
5. Sledding
Sledding down the Dome hill is something that everyone on campus MUST experience. From what I heard, that is a STEEP slope and a great way to do something festive that you would be doing at home!
Happy Holidays!!!!
