As we grow older so do our parents and grandparents, so do as much as you can with them while you all still can and make the most of it.

1. Have a game night

Nothing is better than hanging out and getting very competitive over a game of Uno, Monopoly, or Phase 10.

2. Build a gingerbread house

Make it a little more fun and get mini gingerbread houses and have a contest on who can make the best one.

3. Wear Christmas pajamas and watch Christmas movies.

This is also a super cute photo op to guarantee many Instagram likes and Facebook comments.

4. Learn to cook

This is a big one for me. My mom is letting me experiment in the kitchen a lot over this break. I hope it goes well.

5. Go to a candle light service

This is one of my all time favorites. Every Christmas Eve we go to my church and sing a-cappella religious Christmas songs. We have gone for as long as I can remember, and it gives me chills every year.

6. Go see Christmas lights

Christmas lights are beautiful, and most every city has very pretty displays for everyone to enjoy.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
