1.New Years Eve

NYE 2011 went down in history as the best night of my life, and it's my hope that you'll be able to say the same about NYE 2012! Begin planning something fun with friends and think about how you're going to start 2013 with a bang.

2.New Years Resolutions

Are you happy with the way 2012 went? Write down your goals for next year to possibly get a head start on achieving them before the end of December. Who says you have to wait until January 1 to join that gym you've been wanting to check out all year or go on a diet you've been meaning to follow?

3.Thanksgiving!

Relaxing family and eating time is closer than you think!

4.Going to the movies

The holiday season is a significant time for the box office, so escape chilly weather by seeing a funny movie like "Wreck-It Ralph" or a more serious film such as "Lincoln."

5.The holidays!

Presents, family time, reunions with friends, eggnog, sweaters, scarves, hot chocolate, apple cider, "Home Alone," I could go on for hours about everything I love about the holidays. Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, you can't deny the greatness of warm chocolate chip cookies and cocoa.
