Lara Bekhazi, Production Manager:
"I want to recover from my most draining semester yet... and get all my summer work, winter courses and job applications in order! Plus tanning and shopping, of course."
Lise Treutler, Features Editor:
"I'm afraid of Toronto. I usually hole up at my mum's for a few days during the holiday season and leave only to visit my father in Mississauga. But this year, I want to get up the courage to face the city and actually see some old friends!"
Liz Allemang, Editor-in-Chief:
"I would like to get to and from Toronto by train without hours of unexpected delays. This break will be one of joy if I don't cross paths with a single derailment or rerouting through Ottawa. Every year, VIA. Every single year."
Lukas Bergmark, Photo Editor:
"This holiday, I would like to read four novels, gain ten pounds and get reacquainted with my dusty old PlayStation and play some Jedi Power Battles multiplayer with my brother. I'm also looking forward to cutting down a Christmas tree with my family and decorating it. I generously plan to allow my parents to fly me home so that they may have the wonderful gift of having me home for the holidays."
Marco Avolio, Online Editor:
"Three things: finish my honours essay, edit a short film and normalize sleeping patterns. And yes, I will spend some quality time with video games."
Niall Mackay Roberts, News Editor:
"I'd like to get all my Christmas shopping done in under six hours. The mall is a horrible place and the less time I'm there, the less money I'll put myself further into debt. Speaking of which, I'd like for my employer back home to give me a raise."
Robert Church, News Editor:
"I want to go relax in TORONTO with my family, get some skiing in and think up new and exciting ways to offend more groups at McGill. Next up: white people and how ridiculously pale they are."
Spenser Sproul, Design Editor:
"I'd like to take care of my grandparents while I'm at home, since I only see them twice a year. I'd also like to catch up with old friends and my siblings. I'd like to be a more helpful part of the Christmas decorating process."
Tiffany Choy, Design Editor:
"Umm... this holiday season I want to set regular hours of sleep! No, seriously-regular hours of sleep would be good..."
Traci Johnson, Copy Editor:
"I am going to revel in my time at home, let my grandparents spoil me rotten and get in qualtiy time with the cousins."
Vladimir Eremin, Photo Editor:
"Drinking, snowboarding and more drinking... and then maybe even more drinking. You know: Christmas, New Year's, Russian Christmas and Russian New Year's! I hope that will keep me busy for a week or two."
