We’ve entered what is perhaps one of the most desolate periods of TV viewing: The dreaded winter hiatus.

While we can’t help but feel cheated out of our weekly hour of intimacy with the folks from Mystic Falls, we realize that yes — they too need a break. Still, it doesn’t make filling that Thursday night void seem any easier. So, after careful consideration, we’ve come up with a few ideas to help pass the the time a little less painfully.

Oh, Steven... you are just too cool for school.

1. Make like Ian Somerhalder (Damon) and find a good cause to which you can donate your time. An animal shelter, perhaps? (Just think: You could score some major points with Mr. Smolderhotter!)

2. Buy Ian, Nina, and Paul trading cards. Spend copious amounts of time cataloging, dusting, and ogling them.

3. DVR the TVD marathon. Instead of watching two episodes a night, watch one or two a week to get you through the dry spell.

4. Every Thursday night, host a TVD-themed party in which everyone dresses up like their favorite character from Mystic Falls. Proceed to talk about your all-time favorite events on the show.

5. Reenact your favorite moments (Tyler’s transformation? Cave sex? What, too much?) with your friends. It will be way cooler than a Renaissance fair reenactment. We promise.

"Running lines." A good excuse to cuddle up close.

6. Finish up your holiday shopping.

7. Enjoy photos of ladies man Ian Somerhalder.

8. Commit all of Damon’s best snarks from Season 2 to memory. Shamelessly quote him at any given opportunity.

9. Spend some time with Steven R. McQueen(Jeremy) to help him solve his Bloodlines Revealed mystery.

10. Campaign for Joshua Jackson to be cast as Klaus by tweeting and retweeting #PaceyAsKlaus constantly. Or, vote for who you’d like to play Klaus here.

11. Watch the extended preview of Episode 2.11,“The Descent,” on a continuous loop until it airs on January 27.

12. Read the entire series of TVD books.

13. Enjoy some smokin’ hot pictures of Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley in GQ Germany. They never, ever get old.

14. Learn everything you possibly can aboutKat Graham (Bonnie) by scouring our site. From her music videos, to her fashion advice: We’ve got it all!

15. Buy the entire first season on DVD and have viewing parties with your pals. Bonus: There won’t be any pesky commercials to interrupt all those shirtless harrowing moments.


So there you have it, TVD fans. It’s going to be a long, cold winter. But remember: We’re all in it together!
