Around the holidays, the writers of The Clarion are responsible for presenting you with happy and festive holiday-themed articles and stories. While we love what we do, we decided to do something a little different, in an effort to help you get to know The Clarion writers of Period 6 and what they do around the holidays.

Here are the responses from our fellow writers-

Aliysha Malone: “During the holiday season I decorate my Christmas tree with my parents and siblings while we listen to Christmas music. My grandmother and I make hundreds of Christmas cookies together including sugar, chocolate chip, and peanut butter flavors.”

Vinny Morano: “In the Morano house during the holidays, you will most likely find Christmas music on repeat, a heavily decorated house, and lots of joy throughout my family. My family and I love the holidays so we really go all out.”

Abby Kedl: “I typically bake around 7 different types of Christmas cookies with my mom while blasting Christmas music throughout the house. I also enjoy playing many different Christmas songs on the piano while my family sings along.”
