The Christmas season has arrived and around the world many people are getting ready to celebrate the most joyful holiday of the year. "Christmas is one of the best holidays because all my family gets together and we enjoy each other’s company," said CSUSB student Alba Valdez.

Christmas Time in Fall

As Halloween quickly passes those who chose not to celebrate that particular occasion prepare their decorations for another holiday: Christmas. Halloween draws a big crowd and an even bigger hype, but Christmas enthusiasts don’t let this discourage them from spreading the early holiday cheer. I conducted a survey among my Christian friends at Azusa Pacific University, inquiring if they were allowed to celebrate Halloween or not due to religious beliefs. Of the 20 friends I surveyed, an astonishing 15 of them said they weren’t allowed to celebrate Halloween, but instead attend the church harvest festivals.

By Brittany Crow |Staff Writer| Holiday breaks mean different things to different students. For some, it means no school, but to others, it means vacations, trips, fun, and spending time with family and friends. The holiday break couldn’t have come any sooner, but many of us are wanting to enjoy ourselves during the break, without emptying our wallets. Our Student Recreation and Fitness Center on campus provides activities for students to go on like snow trips during the winter. The trips to look into would be the one-day Snow Valley Snowboarding trip in our very own San Bernardino Mountains, which will be held on Dec. 8, 15, and 18.
