As you get older, you'll find yourself growing out of things... but these 11 Christmas-time activities are ones you'll never be too old for!

1. Baking Christmas cookies

One thing that will never get old is baking Christmas cookies. As you get older, though, they go from sugar cookies with frosting to Santa Clause shaped masterpieces.

2. Wearing matching pajamas with your family

Although this may be embarrassing, you have to admit that it's fun to put on those snowflake-covered 'jammies.

3. Hand-making ornaments

When you're a kid, making an ornament is coloring a gingerbread man, poking a whole in him, and stringing through a piece of yarn. When you get older, however, making ornaments becomes an art. You can paint it, sew it, bedazzle it or make it smell all fancy.

4. Going to the Christmas parade

The Christmas parade is NOT just for kids. It's the best thing to bring out holiday spirit! From marching bands to baton twirlers to Santa riding a firetruck, the Christmas parade is a great experience for anyone!

5. Singing old Christmas songs

Whether you can sing or not, belting Christmas classics is another thing you'll never grow out of. They'll get you ready for the holidays, no doubt about it.

6. Making a gingerbread house

Making a gingerbread house is another one of those things that becomes an art. When you're a kid, sticking graham crackers together and pasting on some gumdrops is the extent of it. When you grow up a little bit, you'll bake gingerbread from scratch and construct the entire North Pole metropolitan area.

7. Watching cheesy Christmas movies

You are NEVER too old to sit on the couch in your pajamas and watch six hours of Christmas movies. Never.

8. Wearing Christmas-themed clothes

When I say Christmas-themed clothes, I mean the red, light-up, ho-ho-ho sweaters. Face it, these are fun to shop for and even more fun to wear in public. They show your Christmas spirit like nothing else!

9. Waking up at the crack of dawn on Christmas morning

I love to sleep, and I know you do too... but there's something special about waking up super early on Christmas morning that we'll never get too old for. It makes Christmas day so much more exciting!

10. Dumping an insane amount of mini marshmallows in your hot chocolate

Putting so many mini marshmallows in your mug that you can't even see the hot chocolate is the way to go, no matter how old you are.

11. Playing in the snow

Lastly, you'll never be too old to go outside and play in the snow. The snowmen will get bigger, the hills you find to sled down will get higher, and the igloos you build will get huger. It'll be freezing just like it was when you were a kid, but the fun is always there.

Don't forget, you're never too old to show some Christmas spirit!

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
