The last month of the year is already here! It’s a crazy time with finals coming up and the holiday season in full swing, but there are so many fun things to do. Here is a bucket list for the month of December for when you need a break from the chaos.
1. Go see some Christmas lights
Many towns and cities have holiday light shows and beautiful displays for people to see.
I might fall on the ground more than I'll be on my feet, but that's half the fun, right?
3. Go on a sleigh ride
I always see pictures of horse-drawn carriages driving through the streets or snow. Wouldn't it be cool to experience it in real life?
4. Do a holiday-themed 5K run
Get out in the cold for some fresh air and exercise. Many runners dress up in holiday apparel and a lot of local races give out fun holiday prizes.
5. Bake Christmas cookies
Who doesn't love warm, homemade cookies?
6. Christmas movie marathon
There are so many great holiday classics, so why not watch as many as you can to get in the holiday spirit?
7. Have a photo shoot with friends
Take a break from studying to take fun pictures with your friends, family, or pets.
8. Make a bonfire
Warm up and relax by a big fire (and bring some marshmallows, too).
9. Make a holiday playlist
Get in the spirit by compiling your favorite Christmas songs into one giant playlist.
10. Have brunch with friends
Catch up with old friends or get to know new friends better over a cozy brunch.
11. Read a book
Take a break from the craziness to read a good book while you have the time.
12. Make homemade apple cider
Cook this traditional winter beverage in a crock pot to fill the house with the sweet smell of fresh apples.
13. Go Christmas shopping at non-traditional places
Get away from the chaos of the malls and outlets & shop at some smaller local businesses.
14. Write a holiday card for someone
It's the holiday season - do something nice for somebody.
15. PEPPERMINT
It's my favorite flavor of any holiday, so take advantage of ALL of it.
