Countdown to 2009: Top Ten Things You Can Be Doing Today Instead Of Sitting At Your Computer

Every weekday of December (except for December 25, that is), Phillyist will be counting down to 2009 with our highlights from the past year and our predictions for the next. If you have a list you'd like to submit, let us know!

10. Sitting at your TV.

9. Heading to Memphis Taproom starting at 8 AM (yes, that's morning kids), where you can earn $1 off each of their fine holiday and winter beer selections by bringing in a gently used winter coat, a blanket, or three cans of food for charity.

8. Eating holiday leftovers.

7. Going to Andy Reid's house and protesting for his firing OR Going to Andy Reid's house and showing him the proper technique for executing a hand-off OR Playing a game of "Cold Wind Tunnel": this is a variation of football, invented by Andy Reid, wherein you can only throw the ball despite the presence of swirling, 25 mile per hour winds and hand-numbing sub-20 degree temperatures OR Going to a strip club and then an Andy Reid press conference, then trying to figure out at which one less thoughts of substance were spoken.

6. Killing Gremlins.

5. Hitting up the light show and Dickens Village at Macy's (and bobbing and weaving through the post-Christmas bloodthirsty bargain shoppers) to make the holiday spirit last a little longer.

4. Celebrating Boxing Day (and also Phillyist staffer Andrew Johnston's birthday!).

3. Playing fruitcake hockey.

2. Watching a movie at the theater.

1. Surrounding yourself with all of your holiday booty yelling "Mine! Mine! All Mine!!"
