Did you know that September 16th is the most common birthday nationwide? That means the holiday season is the most common time for women to get pregnant. It makes sense doesn't it? After all, getting busy with your boo is a great way to stay warm as temperatures drop!
If you ARE having sex this holiday season but you aren't ready to become a parent - and let's face it, no one is ready to get an STD - make sure you are using birth control and condoms.
On the other hand, there are plenty of other things you and your partner can do this winter to stay warm, be intimate, and have fun!

Take a long stroll at night and hold hands to keep warm!
Over the holiday season, you'll probably have some extra time with school closed. Take advantage by acting like tourists in your own town, check out the holiday lights and hold hands with your boo to stay warm while you stroll. Doing something different together will definitely bring you closer.

Show off your skills in the kitchen by cooking together
Cooking together is fun for multiple reasons. It can be fun to "play house" with your partner even if you aren't quite ready (or old enough) to be living together on your own. Cooking together also takes teamwork and is a great way to practice communication and compromise. Be sure to make something spicy to keep things hot!

Make out!
Who says you can't be intimate unless you're having sex? Kissing is a great way to show your affection, it's completely safe and it's a lot of fun!
Have a happy holiday season and make it a safe one!
