This year, schools across the state are blessed with the longest winter break possible – an incredible 12 days! The staff of The Lancer Ledger sat down to come up with ideas to occupy all the free time you’ll have while off from school:

1. Plan a night to stay in and watch The Irishman on Netflix. With a three and a half hour run time, you’ll need to set aside a full night of Pacino, pizza, and popcorn. Click here to read a review on the film. 

2. Want to get into the holiday spirit? Drive around and see Christmas lights!

3. Grab some food, and more food, at Plaza 23. Read why you should check it out here!

4. Binge watch some CLASSIC 80’s movies. Check out some great movie choices here!

5. Build a kick-butt blanket fort with some friends. WikiHow can help  you out – click here.

6. Get out of the house and go for a hike – we do live near some beautiful trails!

7. Another binge idea – cozy up to some Disney+ and watch all 12 Star Wars films (plus The Mandalorian). May the force be with you this break!

8. Host a Secret Santa with your friends or family. Don’t want to spend any money – make it a White Elephant!

9.  Go have a city adventure and check out the holiday set up. Hopefully crowds will be a bit thinner once Christmas has passed.

10.  Bake something – holiday cookies are a huge hit for everyone from Santa to friends.

11.  Catch one or more of our amazing Lancer teams in action – most winter sports have games and tournaments this break. Check out the schedule here.

12. Catch up on the news by reading The Lancer Ledger!

Happy break Lakeland!
