Family, Friends, and Fun: Christmas Edition

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Valdosta chapter.

Finals are quickly approaching and that could only mean one thing — Christmas time is right around the corner! With this wonderful time of the year in mind, it just means lots of memories in the making. I know you’re excited to get that sweet month off to spend with your friends and family. So here are some Christmas festivities you don’t wanna miss out on!

1. Christmas Movies

There are so many classic Christmas movies that you wouldn’t want to pass up. Gather your friends and family to enjoy these funny holiday flicks!

  • Elf
  • Polar Express
  • Home Alone
  • Frosty The Snowman
  • The Nightmare Before Christmas
  • A Christmas Story
  • It’s A Wonderful Life
  • Christmas With The Kranks
  • A Charlie Brown Christmas
  • Dr. Seuss’s How The Grinch Stole Christmas
  • A Christmas Carol
  • This Christmas

2. Baking

Spending some time in the kitchen is sure to bring friends and family together. I suggest baking sweet treats that everyone can enjoy. These can range from cookies, cakes, muffins, cake pops, and even brownies! Not too into baking? Never fear! Opt to decorate a gingerbread man or build a gingerbread house! I guarantee you will have just as much fun!

3. Decorating

Since Christmas only comes around once a year it’s ideal that we get to decorate as much as our hearts desire- am I right? Head to your local Hobby Lobby or Walmart and look for half off decorations. Christmas lights, stockings, ornaments, and scented pinecones are sure to bring Chrismas inside any home! Don’t stop there. You can also choose to decorate your Christmas tree or your front yard with lights! Get creative and have fun!

4. Photoshoots

The leaves are constantly changing colors and so naturally it’s time to break out the cute winter clothes. Gather your group of friends,head out in your best clothing, and take some pictures together! You can keep those lifelong memories or even send them out on a Christmas card!

Well, there you have it! Have a fun filled holiday! Till next time, 

HCXO!
