TOP 10 THINGS TO DO DURING CHRISTMAS BREAK TO GET AWAY FROM YOUR INSANE FAMILY

If you’re stuck at home during winter break and your kinfolk are just absolutely nuts, here’s a few ideas to help you escape from the holiday drama:

1. Go to the gym and sweat out all of that turkey and pumpkin pie.

2. Catch up with high school friends who are no doubt trying to escape their insane families as well.

3. Go to the movies and turn off your phone so no relatives can contact you!

4. Play outside in the snow to burn off the rest of that eggnog.

5. Volunteer at the animal shelter or local food bank so you can one up your pretentious cousins.

6. Go to a coffeehouse and do your homework—but don't forget to take a typical hipster Instagram shot.

7. Take a walk in the park and conveniently lose cell phone service for a while.

8. Go shopping for yourself to get awesome deals and maybe some away time from your family.

9. Work: get hired in retail just in time for holiday season, which will definitely guarantee you time away from batty relatives. Plus, extra cash!

10. Lock yourself in your room and pretend you're working on a really important thesis or project when you're really just binging on House of Cards on Netflix.
