1. DO: Catch up on your sleep!

You have just spent the last couple of months living in a loud dorm, sleep for the next 3 days and thank me later!

2. Don’t: Act too cool for your parents

You might not have the same freedom you do at college but remind your parents how happy you are to be home for Christmas!

3. DO: Binge watch holiday movies with your family

Halmark, Netflix, Hulu, OnDemand….just do it!

4. DON’T: Be a Grinch

Seriously…and DON’T change the song when Christmas music comes on

9. DO: Get in the Christmas spirit!!!

10. DON’T: Tell your little cousin Santa isn’t real

Rumors are flying that Justin Bieber, 24, and fiancé Hailey Baldwin, 21, secretly made their marriage legal Thursday in a New York court room.  An eyewitness reported the two tied the knot in the back room of a marriage bureau, but according to Baldwin the wedding is still to come.

Baldwin tweeted, “I understand where the speculation is coming from, but I’m not married yet!”

E! News confirmed the two tied the knot, but this is only the beginning of their celebration, a source says.

The young love birds may have been quick about the decision, but the planning for the actual party is still to come. “The couple made an impromptu decision to go to the court house and get the marriage license.” source says, “Family and close friends knew of the last minute choice to make their vows legal, however know that there will be a ceremony in the near future to celebrate with everyone.”

A secondary source opened up to E! News revealing, “Bieber and Baldwin went ahead without listening to anyone but still plan to celebrate the marriage in front of God, family and Friends.” While a location hasn’t been decided, we are all eagerly waiting to hear more details of location on the wedding.

A close friend to the two — who were spotted out Wednesday  in N.Y.C. — explained to E! News that Baldwin “feels a civil ceremony and their ‘real’ wedding are two separate things.”
