       Tis the season to be jolly. The Christmas season has finally come. Although the Michael student body will be celebrating Christmas with their families at home this year, the junior and senior classes had their own little celebration enjoying the annual Tree Trimming party with their classmates and female guests.
       On Wednesday night after visits the students and guests participated in the regular Christmas traditions such as decorating the Christmas tree, listening to Christmas carols, hanging up lights, hanging up stockings, and enjoying the presence of the guests. Complimenting the party were drinks and cookies provided by the wonderful Mount Michael moms.
       Junior Brian Stinebaugh, who had the honor of putting the star on top of the tree, said, “The party was a relief. It’s what we needed. It was nice to get away from all of that school once in a while. The only bad part of the night was that my snowball date told me that she was going with someone else.”
Senior Amanda Michael’s commented, “The party was fun, my school doesn’t do things like this and I wish we did. It’s neat to see that you guys do this.”
       From 7:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. the students and guests decorated the whole Mount Michael Armory and outside entrance to the Armory in a holiday fashion. The many trees, lights, stockings, wreaths, and ornaments put the Christmas spice into the Armory.
       Junior Ron Kmiecik said, “It’s nice to have a new atmosphere around here. It gets everyone in the holiday spirit and is a sign that Christmas is here....and so is basketball and winter break!”
       The night was all made possible due to the Mount Michael moms’ work. A special thanks go out to them. They helped with the planning, decorating, and refreshments. Also, Mr. Alan Grinvalds and Mr. Aaron Musson gladly gave up their time to be of assistance and help keep things under control. A special thanks to them as well.
       “Junior Abiola Kosoko said, “ Yeah, the moms definitely made this one a success. It’s my first one and I already can’t wait till next year.” - Photos and Article by Matt Haas and Ron Kmiecik
