  • Merry & Bright Monday – Wear your brightest, most cheerful holiday colors!
  • Grinchy Tuesday – Channel your inner Grinch with green gear or silly “grumpy” holiday attire.
  • Winter Wonderland Wednesday – Whites, blues, sparkles, or anything snow-themed!
  • Silent Night Thursday – Cozy PJs or calm, winter-night colors.
  • Festive Friday – End the week with your favorite festive outfit, Ugly Sweaters, or holiday accessories!

We can’t wait to see our Dragons show their spirit all week long! ⭐🐉
