The holiday season is finally here! There are so many fun activities that we are lucky enough to be able to do in the cold winter. Here are my top five must do’s this holiday season.

1. Watch a Christmas movie marathon.
   • Get your significant other or some of your best friends and get cozy in your pajamas relaxing and watching classic movies. This is also a great time to bake cookie or make gingerbread houses.
2. Plan a study date.
   • Get prepared for last minute projects and finals by getting together at our local coffee shop to study and sip.
3. Get out of town.
   • Grab a couple of friends and go explore! Chicago and Lake Geneva only being an hour drive away makes it the perfect weekend getaway to forget about the stress of school.
4. Check out local activities.
   • Enjoy all the fun things our town has to offer! Take a group of friends to the newly reopened bowling alley or paint some new ceramics at Ceramics For You.
5. Get outside!
   • Even in the freezing weather, we get some fun opportunities to get outside and play in the snow. Wilmot Mountain is a great place to snowboard, ski, tube, or sled. Steitz’s also has a tobogganing hill which is one of my all time favorite things to do in the winter.
