Many students at Jamesville-Dewitt High school are fired up for the upcoming Christmas season. Some J-DHS students crave the expensive gifts, while others are just about the holiday spirit.

What would J-DHS students like for Christmas?
"For Christmas I want a real pig, chocolate cake mix and purple fuzzy socks. If I could have anything in the world I would want a real pig," says freshmen Morgan Pusey.
"For Christmas I'm asking for clothes and ski boots. If I could have any gift I would want an Audi A4. That is the sweetest car I've ever seen," says freshman Colin Stone.
"For Christmas I want a blender," says junior Austin Roney.
"A new cell phone, basketball shoes and Jordan stuff," says sophomore Austin Tousaw.
"Nothing. I already have what I want and I have enough stuff," says sophomore Yin Sitthisun.
"I want the MacBook Pro lap top 15-inch screen. If there was no money limit I would want a Mercedes Bends," says senior Rachel Gugger.
"I want an SLR digital camera. If there were no money limit I would want a shopping spree so I can get whatever I want," says junior Alexis Wilson.

Where do J-DHS students go shopping?
"I'll shop anywhere for gifts. If I go shopping at a mall I go to Carousel," says Pusey.
"The mall I shop at is Carousel because it seems like there are a lot more stores there and ShoppingTown is kinda a ghost town," says Stone.
"I usually shop at Target and I would rather go to ShoppingTown," says sophomore Maggie Fuller.
"I shop at the mall for gifts, and I prefer to shop at Carousel," says junior Jessica Butler.
"Anywhere a lot of stuff is available like Carousel Mall. It's kind of far but it's worth it," says Roney.
"New York City. I went there last weekend and I'll go to Carousel," says Wilson.

Who do J-DHS students go shopping with?
"My mom takes me shopping. But I'll go with anyone but my sister," says Pusey.
"I'd rather go shopping if my brother takes me because my mom always wants to get the person something else," says Stone.
"I usually go with my mom to the mall but I also go by myself. I like going shopping with my friends because they're awesome," says Fuller.
"I usually go with my parents unless I'm buying for them," says Roney.
"My mom or sister. They just pick stuff out and I say if I like it or not," says Tousaw.
"My mom and dad because they buy me things," says Gugger.

Do J-DHS students procrastinate or did they start shopping the day after Thanksgiving?
"My mom makes me get presents early," says Stone.
"I go early to get my gifts," says Butler.
"I always get my gifts last minute," says Pusey.
"I wait until last minute," says Roney.

What do J-DHS students get more of for Christmas, gift cards or physical gifts?
"For Christmas I usually get more gifts. They're from the heart," says Pusey.
"I would like to get more gift cards but I actually get gifts," says Fuller.
"I get gifts not gift cards," says Butler.
"I get more gifts than gift cards," says Roney.

What are some gift ideas for your fellow J-DHS students?
"Jewelry and gift cards," says Butler.
"Shoes, CDs, movies, and ITunes gift cards are some good gifts for other people," says Pusey.
"Gift cards I like because the person can buy whatever they want," says Stone.
"Something cute like smencils (scented pencils), food, wonder ball (a really bouncy ball filled with water and glitter), something wintery like a hat, bumper stickers, and posters of your favorite sports player," says Roney.

Do J-DHS students get gifts for their family and friends?
"It's a secret of what I'm going to get for others. Sometimes I get gifts for my friends," says Pusey.
"I'm planning on getting my little sister some clothes and a crib for her dolls. I usually only get gifts for family, not really friends," says Stone.
"I'm planning on getting my sister and brother a video game," says Fuller.
"I'm planning on getting movies for people. I do get gifts for my friends," says Butler.
"I'm going to get gifts for my host family," says Sitthisun.
"Not usually, maybe a couple of friends but it's hard to decide where to draw the line for who to get gifts for. I'm not expecting to get anything from my friends," says Roney.
