The month of December has always been a popular month for holidays. The end of the year quickly approaches, and families and friends come together to reflect over the year.
Mobius High is proud of its very diverse student body. While Christmas is the most widely celebrated holiday this time of year, each student has their own little special twist on how the celebrate, and for those who do not celebrate Christmas, they have Chanukah and Kwanzaa.
In order to recognize all winter holidays, three of the main halls have been decorated by members of International Club. The science hallway has a dazzling Christmas Tree, the math hallway has an oversized Menorah, and the English hallway is decorated with designs related to Kwanzaa.
President of International club, sophomore Marine the Raccoon, hopes that "the halls give the students a brand new look at different cultures.
"I just love the Christmas season!" said junior Amy Rose, "One of my favorite things to do is to bake cookies for all of my classes. I even make sure to bake hypoallergenic ones so everyone can enjoy them!"
Even though freshman Miles Prower doesn't celebrate Christmas, he said he still loves "tasting some of Amy's great cooking." Because Power is of the Jewish faith, he celebrates Chanukah during the winter season.
"My favorite thing to do for Chanukah is to spin the dreidel," said Prower, "I have the perfect spin maneuver to where I can take everything in the pot."
Senior Sonic the Hedgehog said he loves winter not only for the holidays, but also the shimmering snow. "Whenever it snows, I love to get my friends and go out sledding. We slide down some of the biggest hills and town until we get too cold to keep going. My mom invites us all inside and gives us the best homemade hot chocolate," he said.
Shadow the Hedgehog and Knuckles the Echidna are two of the few students at Mobius High that celebrate Kwanzaa.
"Kwanzaa is such a rockin' holiday!" said Knuckles, "The colors for it, red, green, and black, go perfectly with my gym clothes." Knuckles' red fur, green shoes, and black t-shirt and pants showed off his holiday spirit.
Shadow the Hedgehog put on a green sweater to go with his black and red quills to get his holiday spirit going. "Every Kwanzaa, I go to the festival down in Station Square," he said, "I have been in the figure skating team there for a few years now."
