Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year according to about 27 songs (that's a guess, don't quote me). It's a time for family, friendship and, most importantly, the birth of our Lord and Savior (even though all evidence proves that Jesus was actually born during the summer months, I digress). It's my favorite time of the year, and it's many others as well. There's a lot of activities going on throughout the month of December, and some of it can be overwhelming. The most important thing to remember is the reason for the season but, there are some fun things that you should for sure do before time is up and Christmas has passed.

10. Baking of Any Type

Baking is a must when its comes to Christmas time; I mean its called "Baking Season" for a reason. So go bake some cookies and gain a couple of pounds, it will be fun.

9. Look at Christmas Lights

This is one of the most fun things to do with your friends and family. Grab some hot chocolate, make a fire Christmas playlist, and go all around town looking at the beautiful lights.

8. Decorate a Gingerbread House

This one was always one of my favorites. It's just fun to put together a house with your family and making it your own.

7. Decorate a Christmas Tree

Okay, so obviously, you will do this before Christmas, but if your mom is like my mom and doesn't let me or my sister near the "nice" tree, then I decorate my own tree. It's fun and makes me feel super Christmasy.

6. Buy Gifts

Again, obviously, you will do this before Christmas but don't forget to buy gifts for the ones that matter most in your life. If you can't buy anything, then make something. Either way, it's coming from you, and that's all that matters.

5. Listen to Christmas music

It is a must to listen to "All I want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey at least 47 times before Christmas gets here, it's a law I'm pretty sure.

4. Play in the Snow

If you are fortunate enough to live in an area that has snow, then please build a snowman for those who aren't as fortunate as you, and by that, I mean the ones who live in West Texas. Make a snow angel, build a snowman, and make snow ice cream.

3. Go Christmas Caroling

This one takes a lot of guts I think, but it's so fun. Get some of your closest friends and just go to a couple of houses. It will be fun and memories will for sure be created.

2. Volunteer at your local Shelter

Always remember that Christ died for you, and if you are fortunate enough this Christmas, then help someone in need. Whether that's volunteering at a soup kitchen or donating old coats, either way, you're giving just like Christ gave his life for you.

1. Watch Christmas Movies

Okay, you HAVE to do this. Christmas movies are the best movies. and you must participate in this activity. If you don't then you are scrooge, and I'm judging you. Oh and you must watch ELF at least 7 times.
