Haley - Winter in NOLA


The way the holiday season alters people’s moods completely is foreign to me.

Once Thanksgiving comes to a close and Christmas becomes more present than ever, everyone seems to
change.

Smiles become bigger, laughter is heard more often, and you can see a certain glow on people’s faces.

It’s amazing how Christmas lights can lift someone’s spirits. Just seeing houses decorated sets a fantasy
mood in the air.

Each holiday season is different, even though all the things are the same.

I’m curious to see what this season has in store.

Haley, age 15
