Do!

Take one day on your entire month back to just lay in bed.

We all know you’ve been up and around. Pulling All-Nighters, Going to Parties and not sleeping until four in the morning, Or just staying up all night to talk to your friends, take some time as soon as you get home to just lay in bed all day and sleep. I’ve been home for two days and so far, I’m 100% in this category.

Don’t!

Make excuses to stay in bed all day.

You probably still have responsibilities! Get up and make sure you get shit done before you decide to lazy yourself into a sleep coma for eight hours, okay? Maybe do some dishes and clean the living room. I bet your parents will love you for it.

Do!

Go see some of your friends from High School.

Unless you were one of those, “I hated everyone in high school”, or that, “I had no friends in high school”, type of person, try to see some friends. It’s good to resort back to your roots and see some of the people that made you, you in high school. I know I plan to see some of my friends. Catch up on each others lives. Drink some coffee. Go to dinner. Just chill! Do something and spend some time with those who you haven’t see in a while. They’re probably wondering what you’ve been up to anyway!

Don’t!

Only Spend Time With Friends.

I know you probably really miss your friends and probably can’t wait to catch up on each others lives but, that’s not the reason you came home from college. Make sure you spend some time with your family and show them how much you’ve missed them. Make sure you eat a ton of your mothers food too! We all know the mess that is the Dining Hall at college and we all know nothing sounds better than mom’s special “Whatever”. Just spend time with your family okay?

Do!

Eat Christmas Cookies!

This is a must! Some of my friends and I already went out to buy Christmas cookies to celebrate her transferring and we ate those in two days. Christmas cookies are serious. If you don’t eat any or make any, are you even in the Christmas spirit? Do you even celebrate? Do you even Christmas? I’m just saying!

Don’t!

Gain the Christmas 5…

I know we haven’t had ‘Real Food’ in about a half a month, but just don’t. Because we all know that that resolution you set every year Becky, will not become reality. We all set it, and break it in a week, so let’s just be conscience this Holidays, okay?

Do!

Decorate A Tree.

This one is a classic. You have to. Who sets up a tree then doesn’t decorate it? It’s pointless. I can’t just…. Just Decorate it! Nuff said!

Do!

Watch Christmas Movies!

A Christmas Story, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, A Charlie Brown Christmas! WATCH THEM ALL! I know I’m missing a ton, but those are some of my favorites! My family has a tradition where on Christmas day, we all sit and watch A Christmas Story at least six times. We as a family can proudly say we can quote this entire movie word for word. I know, it’s weird, but it’s a tradition! Besides, what’s the Christmas Spirit without some Christmas Blockbusters? I suggest ABC's 25 Days of Christmas special that stretches until Christmas. They’ve got all the favorites!

Don’t!

Be a Grinch!

Don’t do it! I did not leave college and come home for you to just be in a mood for the entire month I’m here. BE HAPPY DAMMIT! Drink some tea! Sing a Carol! Do something to make you happy before I write a letter to Santa asking him to send you coal for Christmas.

DO!
