From The Editor
Dear readers,
Welcome to the final issue of Interrobang for 2021. We’re closing out the year with our annual Holiday Issue, in the hope of brightening your spirits after another trepidatious trip around the sun.
Many of us hoped, at the end of 2020, that perhaps 2021 would be the year everything would return to normal. Yet here we stand, still divided, plagued by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the ever-present concern of climate change lingering even heavier over our heads. These mixed emotions of holiday joy and fear for the future are highlighted in reporter Amy Simon’s Opinion article on why we love white Christmases, as well as in columnist Ian Indiano’s sequel to a feature he wrote last year called “Home Alone for Christmas.” This year, he expanded on his ideas of loneliness by touching on how the Metaverse, in an effort to “bring people together,” could actually be keeping us further apart.
Our featured articles explore everything from holiday décor trends to which adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas is best. Reporter Ana Lustosa, meanwhile, examines how spending the holidays with friends can be just as meaningful as spending it with family.
Who knows what next year will hold for students? Until we find out, let us celebrate the season with friends, hug the ones we love tight, and tell the ones who matter most that we care for them. And of course, enjoy the various stories of holidays past and present that live within this newspaper.
Happy holidays and a joyous new year,
Hannah Theodore
