10 Things To Do Over Christmas Break
Sister What!

Winter break is such a great time of the year. Finals are over, and it is a time to relax and enjoy the holiday season with family and friends. Here is a list of fun things you need to do to get into the Christmas Spirit

1. Drive around and look at Christmas Lights

You can go to a park that has a light display or neighborhoods that have houses with light displays. Either way, it is super fun to drive around and look at all of the lights with friends and family.

2. Watch FreeForm’s 25 Days of Christmas

This channel has possibly the best selection of Christmas movies, playing from December 1 to December 25, ranging from cartoons to romance (my personal favorite is National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation)

3. Decorate a Christmas tree

My family goes and picks out a real tree and then we decorate it that evening. Real or fake, decorating a Christmas tree with your family is great bonding and fun (especially when you decorate while listening to Christmas music).

4. Gingerbread House Competition

Compete with your siblings and see who can make the best-looking gingerbread house (it's harder than you think to make one).

5. Secret Santa exchange with family/friends.

Secret Santa is one of my favorite activities. Everyone who takes part in the gift exchange picks a name and is in charge of getting that person a gift. The catch is, no one knows who has who. It’s exciting to find out who got you when it is revealed at the end. Secret Santa is also a great way to get to know your friends or family members by trying to figure out what they would want to get for Christmas.

6. Bake cookies

Everyone bakes during the Holiday season. My family and I personally love to make cookies and pretzels dipped in chocolate. There are endless possibilities in terms of cute Christmas treats to bake for Santa or just for dessert at Christmas dinner.

7. Go to a Christmas Eve church service

The whole reason for the season is Jesus’ birth. I highly encourage you to attend a church service to celebrate the reason for the season. If you don’t have a church to go to and are in the Greensboro area, I want to invite you to our services which can be found here: https://www.daystargso.com

8. Make an ugly Christmas Sweater

Everybody loves a good ugly Christmas Sweater. Instead of buying one, be creative and go to Walmart and buy a sweatshirt, markers, tinsel, and ornaments. You can make your own sweater with a Christmas tree and real ornaments hanging on it, or come up with your own design. Everyone will be impressed with your craftiness.

9. Make your own ornaments

Design your own ornaments for your Christmas tree. You can use already made ornaments and just paint them, use clay, or anything else you can think of. There are many ideas out there on Pinterest you can use for inspiration.


10. Family Time

The Holiday Season is all about spending time with family and celebrating Jesus’ birth. So, make sure to spend time with your family whether it be watching a movie together or baking cookies.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
