SAN MARCOS- Texas
State University students share their favorite holiday events and traditions as
winter break approaches and school comes to an end.
As the temperatures
slowly drop and decorations begin appearing almost over night, students at
Texas State University anticipate the arrival of the last day of class.

“Formal with my Theta
Chi Fraternity Brothers is my favorite tradition. It's not a holiday party but
I always felt like it was in the holiday spirit. It usually lands on the last
week of class in December and kicks off the Christmas break for us,” said Enrique
Rodriguez Del Bosque a senior at Texas State when asked about his favorite
holiday tradition.
“My roommates and I throw an ugly Christmas
sweater party every year after finals. We give out a price to the person with
the ugliest sweater, its sort of become our way of celebrating the holidays and
end of the semester all together,” said Cole Heck, a junior at Texas State.
Others enjoy the
annual events and holiday entertainment San Marcos has to offer.

Sights
and Sounds of Christmas is a festival held in San Marcos every December, several
students and families attend it every year. Other events in the area include,
Santa’s Vilage in the San Marcos Civic Center which partakes in an annual tree
lighting.
