On Christmas Eve last year, the author's family was celebrating at their cousin's house with gifts, food, dancing and music. When the author's uncle went to the bathroom, he heard a voice on the radio say "I enjoy family, with Merry Christmas." No one was outside, and the voice was not heard again when the song played.

Santa Claus was first depicted as wearing a red suit and living at the North Pole in 1863. Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer was created in 1939 as part of an advertising campaign. The use of Christmas trees began in Germany and has since spread globally with the help of Christmas lights. Christmas traditions vary widely around the world and within different regions of the United States.

The student explained how she grew up viewing Advent as a time to wait in wonder for the birth of Jesus, but later felt pressure to "forget" about Jesus each year so she could experience fresh surprise on Christmas Eve.
