High school is a time in one’s life where you might have a job, might be preparing for college, or might just be grinding to keep up those grades. No matter where you’re at in life, no one is denying that Christmas is still the best time of year for many. Of course students look forward to the long break, but deep down everybody wants that “golden” present for Christmas. With Christmas just around the corner, let’s see what the top four presents students of MCHS are adding to their list this year:

• Money        

We had a lot of students tell us one thing they’re looking for this Christmas is just some cold hard cash. Of course, so they can spend it on gifts of their own choosing. If you’re in a bind trying to find the perfect present for a friend or family member, just throw a few bucks their way. Everyone wants a little extra spending money!

• Clothes

It seems like each year there’s a new fashion trend, and now more than ever, teenage life seems to be somewhat centered around fashion from Bohemian to vintage to casual. No matter the style, it seems that MCHS students are looking forward to updating their wardrobe this Christmas.

• Electronics

Specifically the new iPhone X as well as the new XBox One. It’s not surprising that many kids have added some sort of electronic device or gaming console to their wish lists this year. Forbes states that Black Friday is the best time to get your Apple products such as the iPhone, MacBooks, and iPads from stores such as Walmart, Best Buy, and Target.

• Red Dead Redemption 2

MCHS guys have an almost eery excitement for the new Read Dead Redemption which was released October 26, 2018. If they haven’t gotten the game, it’s sure to be a favorite for Christmas. The action-adventure game is the third entry in the series. The western-themed video game stars a new protagonist outlaw named Arthur Morgan. If you enjoy action games or western-themed games, many students recommend it!
