Some Assembly Required: What Warriors Really Want for the Holidays 

Dennis Racket

Count to 20: Assembled Warrior Wire seniors are fierce in their pre-holiday stances. Staffers who are part of the formidable Wire Class of 2020 are: (front row, l to r) Maddy Carter, Mary Grace Ray, Bailey Diamond, Grace McCaffrey, John Fiveash, (Back row) Lenox Johnson, Olivia Chewning, Leah Overstreet.

At the conclusion of a lengthy fall semester, each student at North Atlanta no doubt deserves a long rest, some fun with friends and family and – perhaps during a season marked by gift-giving – some manner of gift of their own choosing. But what if a student could get their heart’s desire? We asked our readers what they really wanted for Christmas and their responses were surprising, typical, cryptic, and fun. Dear readers: We hope you have the best of all possible breaks and the happiest of all holidays. Rest up. Be well. And when you come back in January, we’ll be here to report on all you do. Sincerely, Wire Editors:
