“My favorite thing about this time of the year is going on Christmas break and getting to spend Christmas with my family. A family tradition that I have is making chocolate covered pretzels with my whole family. We do this every year around Christmas and it’s a super fun way to spend time with each other. I definitely prefer warm weather, but I do love it when it snows around this time of year because it gets me in the Christmas mood. I enjoy giving gifts over receiving them. Getting everyone gifts is definitely one of my favorite parts of Christmas.” – senior Libby Pattan
