HAPPY HOLIDAYS
By MARUKO MYINT
Staff Writer
The holidays are interpreted differently by everyone, but it is undeniable that festivity can lift even the lowest of spirits. Some may cherish this time of year as a religious holiday, but others view it as a festive celebration to spread holiday cheer and family love. In the weeks preceding the holiday season, families, stores, and neighborhoods outfit their places with holidays decorations, turning them into winter wonderlands. Families often organize special meals, inviting relatives over for delicious food and also exchanging gifts with them. Our students have shared their takes on the memorable holidays, sharing their favorite activities during the season and the traditions they have with their family and friends. mmyint@apachepowwow.com
“My family and I always decorate the tree together while listening to Christmas music. We also go to our relative’s house and open each other’s presents on Christmas Eve. With my friends, we always decorate gingerbread houses together and go ice skating. I really love the holiday season so much because you can snuggle up in your cozy blankets and watch Christmas movies.” — Catherine Esguerra, 10
