If you love Christmas, then doing these activities will help you get into that holiday spirit. Christmas time is a wonderful opportunity to bond with loved ones and to really give to those in need or just out of the goodness in your heart. There is always something to do during the holidays whether you participate in a 5k run, or have a fun day with family. These festive activities will help you channel your giving spirit, and these activities can be fun for everyone.

1. Go ice skating

If you don't have super cold weather where you live, then go to an ice skating rink and act like you do. The activity is fun if you can ice skate, but it can be hilarious if you have never skated a day in your life!

2. Christmas Karaoke 

Who doesn't like singing All I want for Christmas is you by Mariah Carey? I love that song when it's Christmas time. I never miss a chance to sing it!

3. Watch Christmas movies, and drink hot cocoa.

A few of my favorite Christmas movies are How the Grinch stole Christmas, Home Alone, and The Polar Express. Drinking hot cocoa just adds warmth to this activity.

4. Make homemade ornaments

This could be a lovely Christmas traditions for couples and for families.

5. Take Christmas themed pictures

You can take Christmas pictures of your dogs dressed up in holiday clothing, or you can take family group pictures and make Christmas cards.

6. Decorate the Christmas tree

Filling the tree with lights and ornaments is one of my favorite parts of Christmas. It can make your surroundings look so festive.

7. Holly jolly dance off

I recommend that you do this with friends, and I think it's so funny to just have a whole Christmas dance-off. Once you win the dance off I don't know if you will still have friends afterward (hopefully they aren't sore losers), but regardless its still fun!

8. Bake Christmas cookies

The pillsbury Christmas cookies are delicious, but homemade baked cookies with frosting gets me every time.

9. Take a drive to see neighborhood decorations

I don't know about you, but I enjoy seeing other people be festive. Seeing them be festive makes me want to be even more festive.

10. Donate or volunteer

This holiday season is always a chance to give back. Getting into that giving spirit will not only bless someone else, but that blessing will come back to you. Plus, even if you don't want to give people objects, you can always give blood because someone is always in need of that.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

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.
