It’s that time of year again. Lights decorate the streets. Jingle bells are rocking. The weather is getting colder. The spirit of Christmas and the holidays is in the air. Students and teachers at Brien McMahon are jollier and merrier than ever, and they each have their own ways of embracing the holiday atmosphere. ​

For many students at McMahon, music is a nice way to get in that holiday mood. For instance, Frank Greco (‘19) says “I get in the Holiday spirit by listening to music the week before Christmas.” Other students listen to seasonal classics such as “Sleigh Ride”.  

There are other ways that students enjoy the season. Junior Max Parizot says he celebrates by “putting up a Christmas tree and giving gifts.” Mike Gulemi (‘19) enjoys “watch[ing] Christmas movies”, while Jeff Cocchia (‘20) likes “making holiday cookies.”

Teachers are in on the holiday spirit as well. Business teacher Mr. Scalies decorates his classroom with multicolored lights and a “holiday tree.” Social studies instructor Mr. Wagenberg says that it is nice that “everyone is a bit happier” during the holiday season. Additionally, the McMahon library has added a Christmas tree to the center of the large space.

Whether it is listening to music or decorating your home or classroom, everyone at Mcmahon celebrates the holiday spirit in their own way. The festivities are sure to continue over the next few days, as winter break fast approaches. Here at McMahon, the festivities are just getting started.
