Holiday season is a time when families get together to complain about what has gone wrong in the past year and drink egg-nog. It’s also a time when people have a good amount of spare time. There is only so much shopping we can do in a certain amount of time (and with a certain budget), so what else can we do? The holidays are a great time to snuggle up next to a fire with a beautiful Brazilian woman (or your girlfriend), a blanket, and a movie. It’s been a tradition for me to do this every year. Here are some of my favorites (remember it’s okay to watch corny holiday movies):
- National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
- Bad Santa
- Elf
- A Christmas Story
- The Night Before Christmas
- The Polar Express
- Home Alone
- Scrooged
- Jingle All the Way
- Grumpy Old Men
Holiday season is here and it’s always important to stay environmentally friendly. Here are a few ideas on how to go green this holiday season and how to make some cool holiday decorations from stuff you might usually just throw away.
Buy a REAL tree, it might not be cost effective to buy a real tree every year, however, it is environmentally friendly. Christmas trees are grown on tree farms and don’t have an impact on national forests. When the holiday season is over, go to earth911.org to see where you can recycle your tree.
LED Lights are one of the coolest new things in Christmas and holiday decorations. They are much brighter than the conventional Christmas light, smaller, 90% more efficient, and the bulbs last an average of 2 times longer.
Try using an old light bulb to create different kinds of ornaments, they can be painted to look like anything and they are light enough to hang on your Christmas tree. I had a Christmas Tree last year decorated with Red Bull cans, so you don’t always have to buy something new.
Empty out that shoe box full of old Christmas cards and make them into a wreath. Cut out the cards with a holly leaf stencil and attach them to a Styrofoam wreath from your local craft store.
And if you dont celebrate Christmas, you can always follow Sienfeld’s lead and have a “Festivus Holiday Pole”. Festivus, its for the Restivus.
