Holiday Activities: 5 Ways To Spend The Day After Christmas

First Posted: 12/26/11 12:04 AM ET   Updated: 12/26/11 12:14 AM ET


After spending the weekend cooped up in a house, it's only natural to feel a little itchy for some real-life, non family-related activity that does not involve sitting around a dinner table and eating yourself sick. In this spirit, we've come up with a list of five full-proof boredom-killing activities for you to try today -- not all of which require you to change out of your holiday sweats, though we highly recommend it.

Let us know which you attempt (or any other creative stuff you get up to!) in the comments or tweet us @huffposthigh!

Make the switch to the new Facebook Timeline so you can go through super old, forgotten posts -- from before you added your parents as friends! -- and take the proper time to hide anything embarrassing you don't want seen. For example, that week you posted multiple Jonas Brothers song lyrics to describe your deep feelings about your math class crush. Yeeeah.

Heck yeah, SEE WAR HORSE!

That movie was great. It had a good story, amazing scenery, and it was hilarious. I can't believe there are some people out there giving this charming movie bad reviews. People were clapping at the movie theatre I was at!

Take family to the Cross-Channel ferry ports to get rid of them, and send the rest off to Paris? Nah.... They be here through New Years Day.

Revise ideas: Take oneself to the Cross-Channel ferry port, and spend a week alone in London. Leave kids behind for the visiting relatives to mind.

Ahhh. Better.
