We are now in December which means the month of hot chocolate, sweaters, and best of all, Christmas! Now, we all love Christmas for many reasons including things like gifts, decorations, and having a break from school and work. The holidays are a good time for many things including some of the activities below.

 

  1. Christmas Lights-  One of my favorite things to do during the Christmas season is drive around and look at Christmas lights or see the decorated houses around the neighborhood. The lights are always so pretty and it’s always nice to see how people decide to decorate.
  2. Watching Christmas movies- This is one of my favorite things to do during the Christmas season because it’s always nice to lie down with a cup of hot chocolate and cookies and just watch one of your favorite movies.
  3. Christmas Baking-  To go along with the movies, of course, you have to have baking somewhere on this list. Specifically with family or friends, this is one of the most fun and laughable experiences for Christmas.
  4. Festivals- Festivals are always fun events suitable for everyone in every age range. Many places have a lot of them during this time with Santa Claus photos, children’s activities, and beautiful light shows.
  5. Christmas Shopping- It’s always sweet to buy someone Christmas gifts and cheer them up with the Christmas spirit but I’d have to say I would not suggest this if you don’t want to spend any money.

Christmas is the time to celebrate, connect with others, and spend time with friends and family. Whether you prefer festive activities, being outside, or even just staying home cuddling up on the couch watching a movie, all these activities bring joy to the season. so gather your friends and family, have fun, and have a good Christmas!

About the Contributor

Patricia Ramirez, News Editor
Gorgeous, outgoing, and kind-hearted are three words you can use to describe how amazing Patricia Ramirez is. Patricia Ramirez is a 16-year-old Agua Fria student who loves to write. “I’ve always liked writing and enjoyed it before I even knew what career I wanted after high school. I always wanted to be an author because  I enjoyed writing.” Patricia explains why she has joined to be part of the journalism class.  As she starts her junior year, Patricia will be an opinion reporter and a news editor.  Writing is not just her favorite subject, hanging out with family and friends is also one of her big passions since they play a big role in her life. Music has always been very therapeutic to her although she does say her music can be really “bipolar” sometimes. She likes listening to Billie Eilish, The Weeknd, Pierce The Veil, and many other artists. Reading is also delightful to Patrcia, her favorite book to read is Harry Potter. Prisoner Of Azkaban. “ The new characters make the story more interesting as it includes more suspense and a lot of plot twists,” said Patricia.  Agua Fria has been very good to Patrcia this past year since she enrolled here for her sophomore year. “ I like the environment here and how well I get along with others” as she had commented about her experience here. I have known Patricia since she first joined journalism last year. She has always been a very groovy, and amazing person. Whenever you have a problem or need to vent about something, Patricia will make sure to comfort you and support you regardless of the situation.    Patricia has always had good people around her, she did say she would like to thank a few teachers here at Agua Fria.  “ I would like to thank Ms. Fowler for being such a sweet and understanding teacher. Another teacher I would also like to thank is Ms. Grady for being sweet and understanding as well, and for always making my day,”  Patricia said. As she comes close to the end of being in high school, colleges and universities are constantly being brought up. She does plan to go to college. “ I do want to go to college to be a social worker or to be a journalist since it has always been my passion,” Patricia stated.  Many challenges and obstacles in our lives can make us feel a little sad about it, but Patricia has always made sure not to give up. “I think about the outcome of what I’m going through and think about how it’s not going to be bad forever just for now, and I’d rather push through it to get to the good part than stay stuck,” she said.  She has grown so much as a person and also said that she started being herself and she stopped trying to “change me for other people”. Patricia said. As I continue this amazing journey in the journalism club, I am beyond excited to spend another and work with Patricia in the journalism club!
