Festive Places to Visit in the Winter BY KEELY SULLIVAN
These are only a few of the many festive places in Rhode Island, there are so many more! I really recommend stopping by Wickford, Santa’s Magical Drive-Through Christmas Display and Music Light Show, and Wood Estates to get into the holiday cheer. I hope you enjoy these places as much as I did and have an amazing holiday season.
Why Do We Always Hear the Same Songs Around the Holidays? BY FINNEGAN JOHNSON
You may have noticed every year around this time, as you're walking through a store, flipping through the radio, or at a holiday party, that the songs playing are the same you’ve heard in years prior. The school held its Winter Concert this month on the 14th, among the songs played are Silver Bells, Baby, It’s Cold Outside, and Jingle Bell Rock, all songs long familiar to the public (there were other, less familiar tunes performed however). It’s rare that there are any notable changes to the Christmas song canon; we hear the same songs every year, to some people’s chagrin and to other’s delight - Why is this?

The Spirit of Giving Is Alive and Well at CHS BY Ricky Leonard
From those CHS students polled on the various giving initiatives, all seem united in feeling pride in the idea of helping the community. CHS students feel like it is not just an attempt to make the school look good, people are giving on their own and from the heart.
