Best Things to Do On Christmas Eve

Jesus is the reason for the season!

1. Spend Time With Loved Ones

Some people get carried away and think it is all about the toys and presents and it's not. It is about spending love, time, and joy with your family and friends.

2. Watch a Christmas Movie

There are plenty of Christmas movies! Start a new tradition and watch a new one each year! Elf is always a good choice to start with!

3. Open 1 Gift

Opening presents can get you into the spirit of Christmas! Choosing one will hold everyone off until the next morning when they can open all their gifts.

4. Leave Sweets Out for Santa

Milk and Cookies, always! But don't forget the reindeers! My family always leaves carrots for them!

5. Drive or Walk Around Looking at Christmas Lights

Most families put Christmas lights on their houses. A tradition my family has is jumping in the car and just driving and seeing what we can find! Try it! You'll be amazed!

6. Remember to Put Christ In Christmas

Jesus is the reason of the season! Keep Christ in Christmas! Go to mass, put up a nativity scene, pray the rosary with your family. Without Christ we would not be here, so we should not forget about Him during Christmas.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
