IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!

Merry Christmas!

by EMMA BRYAN

Hello once more!! It’s lovely to see you again! I hope your Thanksgiving went well! It’s getting colder now, which means snow, hopefully. Although here in Kansas our weather is weird and sometimes wants to be warm. Hopefully I get an actual cold Christmas this year! I hope you all get snow as well. With the end of Fall and November, that means December and Winter roll around. December means an excess of Christmas music, peppermint flavored things, snowmen, and so many other traditions. Trees go up, candles burn, and lights sparkle. Everyone wins, right? It sure feels that way.

If you’re in school, winter break is the first thing to look forward to. Hopefully you can go sledding, build snow families and forts, and drink lots of hot chocolate. Semester finals are coming, too. I wish everyone luck on those. The first half of the school year is already over. Can you believe it? It feels like just yesterday I was starting my Sophomore year of high school. I hope all of you stay warm, fellow students!!

And for many adults this may mean buying presents for kids, which can be stressful. Understandably so, kids can be stressful, especially given how expensive everything is today. Your children will certainly appreciate it though, even if it doesn’t feel like they do. It’s cold out and things cost money. Stay strong though! It’ll be worth it! I wish you luck!!

And everyone, stay warm! Don’t get sick! Happy holidays!!
