"Illustrate or show depth of one kind or another in a photograph today." Hmm. I'm cheating. This doesn't really show depth, unless you count the shallow depth of field. I wanted to go outside and do a landscape shot with everything in focus front to back, etc, but it is blustery and grey. I decided that staying inside in my cozy wool socks was the better option. Depth of field, it is.

Winter break is coming, which means Christmas is near! To get you pumped up and in the Christmas spirit, here is a list of things you can do during your winter break!

Watch Christmas Movies and drink hot chocolate: Sit on your couch with a cup of hot chocolate while you snuggle in your blankets and enjoy Christmas movies!
Go (Christmas) Shopping: It’s Christmas! The best time to treat yourself to something you’ve been wanting for the entire year. Better yet, get your friends and families some gifts for Christmas.
Start Decorating: Hang up stockings, mistletoes, and put up your Christmas tree! Dress yourself up with ugly Christmas sweaters or wear a Christmas hat! Anything to get you excited for winter and the break. Make paper snowflakes and get crafty!
Play a Favorite Playlist Full-Blast: Take a break! You just finished a very difficult semester. Blast some of your favorite songs and sing along to them. I’d recommend some Michael Buble or Christmas songs to get you in the spirit!
Write Cards: If you are a big fan of making people happy on this special holiday, write cards! Personalize each card with a special message for your friends and family. After all, it never hurts to give and see people smile.
Go Out for a Walk: It’s always great to take a walk around and have a little time to yourself. Go out and take a walk at night or in the morning- whenever you want a refresher.
Bake: From brownies to cookies, take some time off to bake and enjoy some sweets during the holiday. Here’s a list of tasty recipes you can treat yourself to during the break.
Go Ice Skating: Christmas is a call for ice! Find an ice skating rink and go for a try. Have some fun on the ice even if you can’t get the White Christmas you wish for.
Go Out for a Nice Dinner or Lunch: It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Plan a nice dinner or party with your family or friends and enjoy your time. Make yourself happy.
Call Up a Friend You Haven’t Talked to in a Long Time: Skype, Wechat, or Facebook a friend you haven’t talk to for a long time and tell them you miss them. You’ll be surprised how long the conversation can last.
