The Thanks-mas Break

What, you ask, is the Thanks-mas Break? That is the one month space between Thanksgiving, and Christmas. It's that time where we have already started to feel the holiday spirit, but then there is this huge gap. What do we do with it? How do we survive that month still loving the holidays? I'll tell you.

Within the month between Thanksgiving and Christmas, you must do these things. MUST.

1. Have a snowball fight
2. Make a snow angel
3. Bake cookies (the kind of cookie doesn't matter, but I suggest Snicker-doodles)
4. Read about the birth of Christ (if you're not religious, read a decent Christmas story)
5. Watch all 3 Home Alone movies
6. Put up a Christmas tree. Small, big, real or fake. Doesn't matter.
7. Go somewhere and see Christmas lights, and lots of them. If you live in or near Salt Lake, Temple Square is amazing. If not, I'm sure you can find something.
8. Go caroling. I don't care if you think you can't sing. It'll brighten your day, and the day of the people you carol to!
9. Go sledding
10. Eat way too much of your favorite holiday snack, and then feel guilty the next morning.
11. Attend a holiday concert of some sort
12. Serve someone in your community
13. Wrap at least one present really nicely. However you wrap your others, make one super awesome. It's fun, I promise.
14. Tell your family that you love them. At least once.
15. LISTEN TO CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!!!! It simply puts a smile on your face, and makes everything better.

Well, these are a few suggestions to feel the Holiday spirit! Leave a comment if you have more suggestions, or just go enjoy your Thanks-mas break! Happy Holidays everyone! (I totally say Merry Christmas, but it's a little early for that)
