We just get to stack our prizes with our other Christmas pres- ents.” Then on Christmas, Stocker says, “Everybody comes over again and we have a grand breakfast and play games until Christmas is over. The whole week of Christmas we do fun activities. We usually go sled- ding three or four times a week, so we bring hot chocolate up there and my dad brings donuts. Some mornings my dad makes toast and we dip it in our hot chocolate. It’s so good! We go see movies and go to see the lights in these huge fur coats. We make fun of each other saying that we each look like eskimos,” adds Stocker. Stocker says her favorite part about Christmas is the presents, but she also likes the snow, sledding, hot chocolate and snowmen. Senior Ellie Zurbuchen also has favorite holiday traditions and memo- ries beginning with Santa. “Waking up in the morning and getting stuff is the most exciting part about my Christmas.” She continues, “We always make sugar cookies with different colored icing.” Zurbuchen also says in the future she wants to make cupcakes and cin- namon rolls with her family. For senior Hadley Handsaker, “My favorite Christmas tradition is go- ing to my grandma’s house on Christmas Eve with all my cousins and spending time together and getting pajamas.” She also adds, “My favorite part about Christmas is getting presents! Oh, and spending time with fam- ily.” Handsaker loves spending time with her family around Christmas be- cause she gets to see a lot of the family she normally doesn’t see often. As Warriors get ready for this upcoming holiday season, they are look- ing forward to re-living traditions.
