Senior Keith Nicholson and English teacher, Mrs. Julia Bailey express their Christmas spirit under the mistletoe, Wednesday, December 19th. The stockings were hung by the mantle with care hoping that Saint Nicholas would soon be there . . . 'L Hanging stockings is an old tradition that is still upheld by Americans across the country. An Aurora neighborhood creates a picturesque scene for all to see. Downtown Denver took great pains during Christmastime to make the city beautiful. This deco- rated tree was only one of the many Christmas trees and decorations all over the city. During 6th hour, AP12 English, Todd Alcock be- comes the model Santa Claus with glacier glasses and all. Stars and bright lights were a major part of the Downtown Denver Christmas decorations. 26 Holiday Week Holiday season is illustrated by spirit The Christmas Season was upon us once again. Shopping malls quickly filled up with people trying to scratch names off their list, and by the music and decora- tions, one could easily tell it was that time of year. The Tabor Center had just opened and the 16th Street Mall was con- gested with shoppers and traffic from morning until night. Christmas activities were planned throughout December. The KIMN Pa- rade of Lights December 6, 7, and 8, the Nativity Scene at the Denver City and County Building, which was lit December 14, The Nutcracker performances from December 19 through 29, and finally Bonfils presentation of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, December 17, these were just a few ofthe many happen- ings around town.

As for the annual Christmas Blizzard, there wasn't one. In fact there wasn't any snow, just freezing temperatures. This however was not able to dampen the Christmas spirit. Mrs. Bev Gomez, Ms. Jo- anna Hudson's secretary, spent her Christmas in Kansas. HI did nothing but loaf, said Gomez. Ms. Joanna Hudson travelled to Phoenix for 4 days, nl cele- brated the holidays in untraditional ways, Hudson said. Leslaie Haley, sen- ior, stayed in town, and Ucelebrated im- menselyf'
