12 Ways to Get in the Christmas Spirit
 
     Exams are done, bags are packed, and flights are booked. We can finally kick back 
 
and relax as we close the door on this fall semester. In case you need help getting 
 
into the Christmas spirit, why not try one of the following 12 ways to ring in this 
 
holiday season?
 
1. Decorate your house with Christmas lights and then go driving to look at all 
 
the other lights in the neighborhood
 
 
2. Drink hot chocolate with marshmallows while hanging ornaments on the 
 
tree
 
 
3. Sing along to Christmas carols on the radio REALLY LOUDLY
 
 
4. Wrap presents
 
5. Construct a gingerbread house with your siblings
 
 
6. Gather your family and watch Elf, A Christmas Story, It’s a Wonderful Life, or 
 
any Christmas film that suits your fancy
 
 
7. Wear your Christmas pajamas all day
 
 
8. Adopt a family and make their Christmas a little brighter (it is after all the 
 
season of giving!!!)
 
 
9. Have a Christmas cookie party with friends
 
 
10. Visit Santa at the mall
 
11. Travel to visit your family
 
 
12. Sit by the Christmas tree and just soak up the Christmas spirit
