ELENA IRISH
School started again on January 8th, but if you’re anything like me, you aren’t ready to let go of the snowball fights, delicious meals, and time with family and friends that accompanied winter break. Thankfully, there’s no reason to! January is a month filled with holidays, and there’s something to celebrate almost every day. If you need to pretend — even for a few moments — that it’s December again, there’s no better excuse than gathering a few friends and celebrating these uncommon holidays.
