![This year, the Wayland team is made out of a JV team and a varsity team. There is a wide range of grades from eighth grade to twelfth grade that make up the teams. " [What] I will miss most [about the seniors] is their willingness to be involved," sophomore Mackenzie Grogan said. "Whether it was with school drama or referee frustration, they were really good at listening and giving good advice."](https://waylandstudentpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/8F0FD331-F005-4C3F-9F77-402D1C1953D6_1_201_a-1200x800.jpg)
My recipe is a somewhat new tradition. Every year my mom has begged my sister, brother and me to have a caroling “party.” Although we were always promised cookies and hot chocolate when we were done, walking in the cold weather while singing songs to strangers never completely appealed to us.
Instead, one year my sister and I decided to compromise – we hosted a Yankee Swap. For the swap we made at least five different types of cookies. Our favorite were the Peppermint Ball Cookies These were devoured in what seemed like seconds and since they were so loved we have made them part of our annual holiday tradition.
