Christmas break begins Friday and students will be expected to return to school on Jan. 4.
“This is my favorite holiday,” senior Corey Wells said. “I don’t really receive gifts like I used to. I give presents out now, because some people suffer everyday and it’s sad that a person could feel distressed during this time of the year.”
“I usually go out of town during the Christmas Break because there is nothing really to do here in Detroit, but this year I want to do something here in Detroit.” junior Carlos Walker said.
There are some things to do in Detroit during break. Students can visit Campus Martius and go ice skating.
Another event is Wild Lights at the Detroit Zoo, which runs from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Fridays through Sundays in December. It costs $11 at the door or $9 in advance. Wild Lights includes 5 million LED lights on trees, animal art and buildings and more than 100 animal sculptures, according to the zoo’s website.
“The Zoo Lights is a must for me and my girlfriend,” said Douglass senior James Smith. “I hear everyone talking about the lights, so I want to check it out for myself.”
