It makes me feel like Christmas is coming faster. I love the Holidays.”

-William Hormann, sophomore
“I decorate for the holidays the day after Thanksgiving. Christmas is my favorite time of year but my mom makes me wait until after Thanksgiving to decorate.”
-Caroline Costa, junior”[I’ll decorate] probably this weekend. [I usually decorate] after Thanksgiving or into the first week of December. I like keeping Thanksgiving and Christmas separate.”

Nice little piece about others decorating habits. we usually decorate the weekend after thanksgiving because of the break we have. I feel like it is a lot easier to decorate after a break because at that moment you aren’t worried about homework and it is sometimes cold outside.
