11. Go on the hunt for the most outrageously decorated house you can find.
12. SNOW PAINTING. Yes, this is still a thing. Just mix some up some Kool-Aid (or add food coloring to water!) and find a squirt bottle!

28. Have a Secret Santa exchange with your friends!
29. And of course, bake some holiday cookies!
And if you complete all the above, just for kicks, you should definitely try to lick a metal pole.
