Scarlet & Black 2018-12-07
As Grinnell students push through the semester’s final weeks, Grinnell community members have begun pulling on their ugly sweaters, sipping spiced eggnog, and listening to holiday classics. The S&B’s Sarah Licht ’22 and photographer Liz Paik ’22 took a break from studying to ask community members, “What’s your favorite holiday memory?”
“Going to my grandmother’s house and visiting with my extended family on my father’s side.” — Angela Thys
“The Christmas Eve services.” — Mark Dimit
“We always had a sleigh in the barn, and my dad would always say that it was Santa’s sleigh. Each year we’d have a great big family dinner and have sleigh rides.” —L’ena Hotchkin
“Last year, my niece and nephew got a train set and they were the most content children making the train stop and go.” — Emily Weber
“It’s actually for Halloween because I’m like that. My friends set up a haunted house, and they let me be a part of it. It was really fun grabbing at people’s feet when they walked by.” — Henry Hutchinson
“When I was a child, my younger sister of two years told me that Santa Claus didn’t exist. Somehow she figured it out before I did.” — Karen Cooper
