Christmas is just around the corner, and our lovely city is already blanketed in snow. People are putting Christmas lights everywhere. It feels rather festive already even though a whole bunch of homework and assignments are weighing us poor high school students down deep inside our hearts. Well, no worries, because once winter break hits, there will be lots of awesome performances and concerts coming up in our own city. Here they are:
