Christmas Break Guide 101

by Kendyl Druffel

“The best way to spread Christmas cheer is signing loud for all to hear!” -Buddy the Elf. From watching movies, to making cookies, and listening to Christmas music, the holiday season is one of my favorite times of the year. You are surrounded by family, friends, and the sense of happiness and joy at all times, how much better can it get?! When I found out that my holiday break is a full month, I was wondering what I would do with all my time.
