“Most of my family have birthdays in the first week of December, so it’s always a really exciting and happy time for all of us. I think (our tradition for Christmas decorating) started with my middle sister, Sophia, who is really passionate about Christmas decorations. I really looked up to her, so decorating started to be our tradition together. When I first saw the movie “Elf” there was one scene that stuck out to me where Buddy the Elf would decorate the store late at night. It reminded me of me and my sister because, at the start of every holiday season, we would pick a random school night to decorate the entire house to surprise our family the next day, a lot like the scene from the movie.”

“I met Justin Bieber in a Tim Hortons when I went to go visit my family in Canada for the holidays. I used to live in Canada, so all my family is still there. I never thought I would see a celebrity, let alone Justin Bieber in an airport.”

“We got a puppy for Christmas and as soon as we got her, she went straight for the tree and knocked it over. A lot of ornaments broke and my mom was super upset about it. We were all shocked.”

“My family and I were driving to Cincinnati when we got lost in a huge snowstorm. We ended up stuck in a small town in Indiana. We couldn’t find a single bathroom, so I had to literally pee in the snow.”
