I was going to make a poll, but the options are unique. So how about just posting how you like to spend your spare time (holidays or weekends...etc).
I don't have too much spare time nowadays (Working, College) but whenever I find some free time I like to, besides the usual spend time with your family, design and create skins for Xenforo. Might not sounds too fun, but I love being creative. Whenever I'm not doing that I'm either playing a Nintendo game, relaxing by my koi pond, or just browsing the internetz.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Ol' Jobless over here has endless amounts of time. I mostly fill up the empty space that should be a social life with console and pc gaming (I just discovered Skyrim on steam and oooooh my gord I can't remember what the sun looks like). When I'm not busy FUS ROH DA-ing some rebel into Oblivion (see what I did there? ho-hoo) I can usually be found tinkering with things on my own forum, sketching up something or doing some writing for one of my works in progress. Or watching some good old oldies on TCM. Just seen A Streetcar Named Desire with Marlon Brando. Hnnng that man was amazing.
Also koi pond? Color me lime green jelly, you lucky person you. I've always wanted a koi fish, never mind a koi pond. What Nintendo games do you play?

Basketball because I am good at it and I am tall I also watch it and have the NBA series for XBOX 360. So that will give me a few tips.

Usually I get to play on my xbox console, on the game grand theft auto because I have xbox live. I also catch up with several forums, so participate in active discussions etc and try to create my own too. My job is quite stressful sometimes, so having the weekend to relax I always take advantage off.

I like to go shopping in town (I always end up spending so much money!) I like creating art/drawings too.

Yes, I rarely shop but when I do get out there with the mindset that I'm "shopping" I typically end up finding things lol
Since the weather has gotten a lot nicer I've been doing outdoorsy stuff like riding my bike, going camping, hiking etc. I don't get a lot of free time so when I do get a couple of days off I try not to waste them lol

I usually like to read, play video games, mange my forum, go to the movies, play with my dog, go shooting at the range, etc. I usually do whatever floats my boat at that particular moment. For instance, if it's raining outside then I like to curl up with a good book and just inside. If it's nice outside, then I like to take my dog for a walk.

How do I like to spend my spare time? Hmm, well first off I really don't have much spare time these days. I am always either working at my full time job, or working on my website. I work a total of 40 hours a week at my job and then I come home and work on my website for a few hours every night. When I occasionally do get free time, then I love to spend it playing golf. There is nothing better than playing golf on one of those hot summer days, ugh I love it!! The only other thing that I really do is just hangout with the family as much as I can, my family is really close. That about sums me up right there!

Usually, I prefer either reading some magazine/Mangas or playing games on my PS4/PC. Though I don't have enough spare time during the weekdays. I am fully employed in a private firm, and the schedule is quite hectic.
I am able to manage some spare time in the weekends. During that time as I said, I either play or read. And in the evening time, I go out with my better half for a movie or dine out in a restaurant. 😌

We live rural, on wooded acreage. I get out in nature, unplugging from technology. I have several of my state of Michigan Field Guides for birds, butterflies, trees, etc. so I challenge myself to identify the flora & fauna we have here. I am also into astronomy & have a Go-To Telescope I use as often as I can.

Things really have changed for me after getting married and having a kid. Suddenly your calendar is filled with birthday parties (mostly virtual ones nowadays), appointments, etc. Cooking, cleaning, and laundry never ends. I'd be lucky to get a 30 minute walk in most days by myself. lol
Lately I have been running - I'm training to do a half marathon in December with a few of my other mom friends. I'm slow...but yeah still hit the pavement so it counts and I say that's my fun during my "spare" time.

I like to ride my mountain bike but seeing as I'm turning 70 in a few weeks, I don't do park trails anymore and my outings are waaaaaay shorter than they used to be. And in case you're wondering I change to balloon tires in the winter. They slow me down but get me through the snow.

I have never tried mountain biking. I do have a road bike that I need to get tuned up. It's supposed to be really good for cardio and strength training for legs.

Exercise is wonderful for that reason. I can be in the most foul mood but if I go and get moving I always feel better. Nothing like physical exhausting to clear your head.

I generally walk in my spare time, in addition to any computer work or games I want to enjoy playing with others. The outside tends to help get my head on straight most of the time.

Go on forums, build my model trains, chat to my friends and girlfriend.

I like to watch streams while I'm doing other, trivial things. Usually people playing games or making art that keeps me company while I'm doing whatever without actually requiring too much active attention from me. Otherwise, I might play games myself, draw, write, chat with friends if anyone's around--that sort of thing.

Watch anime and games, do something outside if it is nice (most of the time at least).

Watch my favourite TV shows and movies, play games on the PlayStation 5 or the Series X, browse different forums including my own, watch football (soccer to you Americans), and just listen to music.
And if I'm not doing that, I'm outside, enjoying some free time with friends and family.
