So, most of you are looking at this post and going, “What’s the point of this?! How could anyone be bored during Winter break? Are you insane?” Those who frequent my blog are probably thinking, “Finally, a post that isn’t a list!” Well, whatever you’re thinking, there is always a way to be bored. This should help with that.

Now, with the hideously lengthy introduction over with, it’s time for me to tell you how to keep yourself from being bored in the Christmas season. Has it snowed recently in your area? No? Well, it’s time to pull out your socks, ball ’em up, and start your indoor snowball war. Recruit a sibling, your parents, or a teddy bear you adore, and fight the evil forces of household items.

Too cool for sock fights? How about baking soda rockets? Yeah, I bet you’re interested now. Oh wait, you don’t know how to build one yet! Here, let me explain the steps.
1.) Locate a film canister and make sure you have its lid, because you’re going to need it.
2.) Find a roll of wrapping paper and place the canister, jar, etc., and put it on the paper so that the mouth of whatever you selected is pointing towards the edge of the wrapping paper. Roll up your containment unit, and tape the resulting, significantly longer tube to keep it from unrolling.
3.) Cut out a paper circle and make a slit to the center. Fold it into a cone and tape it on top of your tube. (The side that does NOT have the film canister on it.)
4.) Here is when things get interesting. Pour baking soda onto a square sheet of (clean!!!) toilet paper. Then tape it into a packet and take everything outdoors. Secure it in the canister lid.
5.) Fill half the canister with vinegar, then put on the lid.
6.) Flip the rocket over, back away about a meter, and await blastoff.
Please tell me if it works, I’ve never tried this before.

Still not amused? There’s one last thing that I can tell you. Use the internet. It knows a lot more that I do. And that concludes this blog post. See you next time.
