Article: Christmas caroling is when you go to other people's homes and sing them Christmas songs. You can also sing carols at your home or go to a senior living center to sing for them. All you need to do is learn some Christmas songs and gather some friends. For song ideas, try ones like "Frosty the Snowman," "Holly, Jolly Christmas," "Silver Bells," “Walking in a Winter Wonderland,” “Jingle Bells,” “The Little Drummer Boy,” “Let it Snow,” or “It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas.” Kids usually stop believing in Santa around age eight, but younger kids will love the story of Santa. Explain who Santa is and how he is going to come visit your home on Christmas Eve.  To complete the tradition, have them leave cookies and milk out for Santa on Christmas Eve. When they are asleep, drink the milk and eat the cookies, leaving some crumbs as evidence.  Have your kids leave carrots out for the reindeer and when they're asleep, nibble on the carrots, leaving gnawed pieces behind. One classic Christmas cookie is sugar cookies cut into Christmas shapes, such as candy canes, snowmen, stars, and gingerbread men. Then, you can decorate them with icing and sprinkles. Other fun options include gingerbread men, molasses cookies, and thumbprint cookies.  You can also make yule logs, fruit cakes, or an apple pie.  Mincemeat pie is also traditional in many countries. Making decorative houses out of gingerbread, icing, and candy is also a tradition! Traditional Christmas foods include things like turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing, macaroni and cheese, green bean casserole, and rolls. However, more important then the food is gathering together with your friends and family to eat.  If you're looking for festive drinks, try drinking custard, eggnog, or mulled wine. Don't forget to include some traditional desserts! Don't be afraid to invite more than just your family! Think about people you know who may be alone on Christmas and ask them to come! Set the table in the Christmas theme with folded napkins, table runners and beautiful plates.

You can learn a lot about the world and what you can do to make it better. It will look pretty impressive on your college applications and resume as well. All you have to do is call or email a local organization you'd like to help and ask what you can do. Getting experience in your field is a valuable way to spend your time away from school. You will get to learn skills that are important to your future employment and make contacts in your field. It’s never too early to start building up your resume. It's best to start looking to line up an internship before your summer starts, especially if you are hoping to get a better position or a paid internship. There are always opportunities out there though. Just check web classifieds and job posting sites to see the possibilities. Making money is a great way to have a productive holiday. Whether it is summer break or winter break, most employers are going to need some extra seasonal help. If you aren’t old enough to get a job yet, don’t let that stop you. You can make some extra money by doing yard work around the neighborhood. If you found a bunch of stuff you don't want while cleaning your room, you can sell it in a garage sale. The extra money will come in handy once school starts back up and you have less time for work. If you have nice stuff that just isn't your style, you can make a little more cash by selling them through consignment shops or online auction houses.

Article: Take hold of the loose edge of the backing and peel it off in one smooth motion. Try not to let your fingers make contact with the adhesive itself, or it could lose some of its stickiness.  Your local sporting goods store may carry eye black stickers in the baseball or football section. If not, look for them online. A package of eye black stickers typically only costs $4-5, and often includes around 12 pairs of stickers. Hold the sticker over the flat part of your upper cheek just beneath your lower eyelid. Try to line it up with the middle of your pupil. Essentially, you want the sticker to sit between your lower eyelid, the point of your cheekbone, and the nearest nostril.  Some eye black stickers are curved slightly to fit along the contour of the player’s eye. If the stickers you’re using are curved, arrange them so that the curve is pointed upwards like a smile. Take your time to double-check that each sticker is positioned correctly before you smooth it down. Once you’ve got your first sticker situated just right, touch it to your skin and apply light pressure for a few seconds. Then, smooth the sticker from end to end with the pad of your finger to make sure it’s secure. There’s no need to bear down too hard—just be sure that every part of the adhesive back is making contact with your skin. Remember to align the sticker with the center of your pupil about 1 inch (2.5 cm) under your eye. Press the sticker to your face and run your finger over it to smooth it down. Both sides of your face should be congruent. Resist the urge to mess with your eye black stickers once you’ve got them where you want them. If they’re not, carefully loosen them and adjust their placement as needed. Just avoid removing them too many times, or the adhesive will begin to wear off. One major advantage of eye black stickers is that they’re much easier to remove than the stick. Just grab the edge of each sticker, pull them free, and toss them in the trash. Don’t attempt to use the same stickers more than once. There’s a good chance that they could come unstuck during a crucial part of the game.
