The Ultimate Christmas Bucket List

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Miami (OH) chapter.

It’s the Holiday Season aka THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR. I love to make the most of the Christmas season every year and do a few festive things every week of December to lead up to the big day. Through the stress of finals, it’s nice to take a study break once in awhile for some festivities. How many things on this list can you check off this year?

  2. Go Black Friday Shopping (or Cyber Monday if you don’t want to get out of bed)

  3. Hang Christmas Lights up on your house (or in your dorm!)

  4. Decorate your Christmas Tree

  5. Organize a Secret Santa with your friends
