  2. This way means that when you go to bed, you will be so tired that you will fall asleep fast. Or you could sleep in, but that won't help you sleep quickly on Christmas Eve.

    Can you give me other ideas in case I get bored with these?

    Listen to music (Christmas or just regular), play a video game by yourself or with friends/family, hang out with friends, draw or write, make a Christmas or regular craft, play outside in the snow, take a nap, clean your room a bit, watch YouTube videos, ask your parents if they have any Christmas presents left to wrap (and if so, help them with the wrapping), and text or email friends/family.

    About anything, really. Test your knowledge on world geography. Learn about ancient Egypt. Look up funny cat videos. Use a rhyming dictionary to write a Christmas carol. Look up a tutorial on a craft of some kind. Make a collage or PowerPoint. Plan a vacation and look up hotels and experiences and whatnot. Research colleges or job opportunities. Find a new favorite song on YouTube. Read up on the local or national news. Play some of the I'm Feeling Lucky games on Google. Let yourself get distracted and go down the rabbit hole.
