Yo-yos, Gigapets, Beanie Babies, Furbys, Nintendo games, Gameboys, scooters, Ps2, and Nintendo Wiis: all things that Campbell County High School students once wished they would find underneath their tree on Christmas morning. Looking back, several students agreed that their favorite part of the holiday was seeing if Santa had delivered what they always wanted. However, this always did not happen.
“When I was seven, I wanted the green Power Ranger action figure,” said senior Eric Schipman. “Not once did I ever see that green Power Ranger.”
Junior Dani Hitt said, “When I was five, I dreamed of waking up to have a Barbie Jeep under my Christmas tree. One year, there was one. Sadly, it had my sister’s name on it.”
Schipman and Hitt were not the only ones disappointed on Christmas morning. Sophomore Emily Virgil felt the same way. “Every year, I asked for a motor scooter,” said Virgil. “I never found it under my tree.”
Not all students woke up disappointed on the morning of December 25th however. “I got a Wii for Christmas,” said senior Kelsie Vanpatten. “I was so excited, I was jumping up and down.” Vanpatten started asking for her Wii a month before Christmas that November.
“I got a flatscreen TV for my room,” said sophomore Raleah Cisneros. “I started asking for it about a month before Christmas.”
Sophomore Richard Bierman was excited Christmas morning when he opened up his checkered belt with a Pacman belt buckle. “The belt matches my shoes,” Bierman said proudly.
During the holidays, memories can be made by shopping until you drop, baking goodies, building snowmen, and hoping to receive your dream present Christmas morning. However, you might want to start your letters to Santa early if you are afraid you will not find what you want under your tree Christmas morning.
