Christmas lovers vs. haters

Christmas+lovers+vs.+haters

“I am very obsessed with Christmas, I have a tree in my room that I decorate with lights and I have lights up over the perimeter of my room and I have lights over my bed and lights around my curtains and have two candles in the windows. I also have a stocking that hangs outside my door and a little elf.” -Daniel Fairburn, junior

” I grew up watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas, so sometimes I watch it during the Summer, so I just believe I am just a really Christmas spirit-y person. Everyone always thinks I’m obsessed with Christmas because I always bring it up and say how many days there are until Christmas since I keep track of it all year. I just love everything about Christmas.” -Ashley Hedrick, senior

“I really like the spirit that comes with Christmas, I like how everyone’s so happy, and I love the music, and I also love giving to people especially when it’s something unique and it’s something that they’ll really enjoy.” -Olivia Ewers, junior

“Here’s the thing. I have a huge family and I have to go to five different places on Christmas and I don’t get to relax so it’s not fun at all. I don’t like the whole festivity thing like I’m not all about the decoration thing because it’s too much work honestly. But I like Christmas where I buy things for people and that part, I just don’t like the actual day.” Alison Beers, senior

I don’t like Christmas because it feels too commercialized. As soon as Halloween is over, people put up Christmas decorations and all stores start advertising gifts for Christmas. Everything is all about getting gifts and spending money. I would much rather go on a vacation with my family than have Christmas. It is always so stressful and I’m always glad when it’s over. It’s a part of the year I wish I could skip. -Rebecca Dempsey, senior

“I hate the song Santa Claus is Coming to Town; it’s kind of annoying. I don’t know why, it’s just too much, they overplay it and there’s so many versions of it too. It’s just like… why?” -Natalie Beyer, junior
