Ideas for Family
By Tori Bergland
It can be a difficult task trying
to figure out what to get every single person in your family for Christmas.
The pressure of being creative or even just having to think of a good
idea can be an extremely overbearing task. Some family members may
be a little easier to shop for, but these lists below contain ideas
for those who may be a little more intricate. Of course not every
one of these suggestions will be appropriate for your specific person,
but it may be a start. Check them out, and I wish you the best of
luck during this special occasion of holiday shopping!

JV Boys Soccer: Starting
Fresh
Usually, the boys J.V. roster is filled with quite a few freshmen.
As there is no freshmen soccer team, it is not at all unusual to see
some of Valley's newest students squaring off against some teams,
like Mitty and Bellarmine, who are chock full of sophomores and even
juniors. Naturally, putting freshman and juniors together seems slightly...
unfair. Things are going to be different this year.

Embarrassing Holiday Moment?
Embarassing moments happen to everyone. They are not something
you can avoid or prevent, they are just part of life that most people
have learned to accept and shake off. Christmas brings joy but it
