Steven Fuller, Sports reporter • December 16, 2024

Christmas is always one of the most magical times of the year for children. It’s a season where you can always be excited, joyful, and wonder with the different but amazing traditions and celebrations. From the beautiful lights to the terrific music, everything about Christmas feels different in a special kind of way. But the question is about why kids love this holiday (Christmas) so much to the point where they ball out and cry about it. For kids, the start of Christmas is almost as exciting as the day itself. Countdowns, Calendars, and holiday decorations popping up everywhere around the world intrigue the kids and make them so happy. Even the sensory experiences surrounding the kids in the holiday season are the main reason why kids love Christmas. For example, the decorations of the Christmas trees and every other decoration such as the ornaments play a huge role in creating some type of experience that surrounds children is some type of interdimensional world of joy and excitement. The whole atmosphere changes as the smell of the room is filled with cookies and milk in a room of joyful lights leaving an everlasting impression on the children making their Christmas feel unique and extraordinary. Though Christmas for kids is mostly known for really one thing because the kids love this most whenever Christmas comes around. The thing they love the most is the presents or gifts. Their wishlists are officially gone and are given to them, probably not all of their gifts are being bought off the list but most guarantees are and that’s what kids love the most during this time. Spending time with your family in a warm room with hot chocolate, and candles lightened, and having a splendid time on Christmas day is the most wonderful thing in the world as it expresses the significance of family and friends and

About the Contributor

Steven Fuller, Sports Reporter

Steven Fuller is a 17-year-old senior at Agua Fria High School which he has attended since his sophomore year. Before that, he lived in California, Nevada, and Washington, eventually moved to Arizona, and has been here ever since. This year will be his first and last year as part of the journalism staff at Agua Fria. In the past 3 years at AFHS Steven has grown to be interested in community-serving activities like being a part of the Agua Fria chapter of the NHS and the southwestern district of Kiwanis’ key club at Agua Fria all while growing his long-time love for Basketball. Steven is also planning to join the Agua Fria Men's Basketball team because of his love for it. Steven is very passionate about what he’s held near and dear to himself and how it has impacted him. Steven has always put his family above all else; being this family-oriented has made him the caring and cheerful individual he has become over the years, “My family is the most important thing for me, they are the reason to make as much money as I can”. He has always had a strong love for basketball since he was around 11 years old with his current favorite player being Anthony Edwards (Shooting guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves, # 5). He's also quite interested in college. He wants to study computer science for the money: but if money didn't matter he would study medicine or criminal justice. He wants to attend college to “provide for my family,” said Fuller during an interview. Among his passion lies his academic success. Steven went from a kid who was angry with the world and didn't care for school to a kid who strives for greatness. His attempts to build himself back up have not gone unnoticed; this past May he was accepted into the Agua Fria Chapter of the National Honors Society. He hopes his triumph will, “Get me into a good place where I can care for my family.” Steven is on his way to accomplishing his dream of becoming a computer engineer.
