From the absolutely beautiful decorations to the fun events, the Christmas spirit is beautifully displayed around campus. Throughout the holiday season, the Campus Activities Board (CAB) and the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/cedarville.edu\/sga\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Student Government Association (SGA)<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\"> keep students very busy with thrilling and nostalgic activities! Cedarville\u2019s Christmas spirit is greatly enhanced through several fun and exciting events on and off campus: Campus Christmas, the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, Deck the Halls, the Community Christmas Celebration, and local Christmas events in the surrounding community.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Campus Christmas<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Campus Christmas is a big deal at Cedarville. It is one of the most highly anticipated events of the year! Some of the specific events students can get involved in are late-night breakfast in the dining hall, a miniature train ride around the lake, Christmas story time with professors, and so much more! Specifically for Campus Christmas, the dining hall opens its doors late at night for students to enjoy a late-night breakfast during the evening\u2019s festivities. Some years, a miniature train will carry students around the lake for a cold but festive ride! Christmas story time is a sweet event where students gather to listen to some of Cedarville\u2019s beloved faculty read a Christmas story. Whether you are looking for a fun experience or a nostalgic time to relax, Campus Christmas is something you will not want to miss!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Christmas Tree Lighting<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony is arguably one of the most beautiful events on campus all year. Right before Thanksgiving break, students gather around the 32-foot campus Christmas tree to celebrate its official lighting for the year.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Let me paint a picture for you of what it all looks like. As students, faculty, and staff gather around the lake, you can hear the sound of hundreds if not thousands of voices lifting up praise to the King who came so humbly to Earth as a baby so many years ago. After an exciting countdown, the tree illuminates in a beautiful array of light, and the crowd cannot help but smile at the splendid sight.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Can you see why I would think it is one of the most beautiful events of the year? You do not want to miss this wonderful experience! This year, the ceremony is Thursday, November 14, at 7:30 p.m. If you live locally, I encourage you to stop by! If not, the entire ceremony will be livestreamed on Cedarville\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cedarville.edu\/event\/christmas-tree-lighting\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">website<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">, YouTube <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Q8utdtPpySI\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">channel<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">, and Facebook <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1209630133630902\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">page<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Deck the Halls<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">If the Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony is the most beautiful event on campus, then Deck the Halls is by far the craziest event on campus! On this one night, halls and units will unite to put on a themed show in their dorms and compete against other dorms on campus. Each dorm will have a theme for the decorations that is acted out by residents of the dorm and then presented to visitors \u201ctouring\u201d the scene. Residents and guests can visit every dorm on campus and walk through their unique themes. At the end of the night, the judges will reveal which dorm or unit group has won the ultimate bragging rights as Deck the Halls champions! When Deck the Halls rolls around, there is no doubt you will want to put on your walking shoes and go dorm-to-dorm to see who has \u201cdecked the halls\u201d the best!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Community Christmas Concert<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Each holiday season, Cedarville University presents a special Christmas celebration concert as a gift to the local community and our campus. Hundreds of students are involved as a part of our choral and instrumental ensembles. This year, the concert is on Sunday, December 8, and anyone who is in the area is encouraged to join in the celebration! If you don\u2019t live locally, the concert is also livestreamed. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Local Christmas Events<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">While Christmas on Cedarville\u2019s campus is beautiful, you cannot forget all of the fun opportunities to celebrate within the local community.

During the holiday season, we as believers have a special opportunity to reflect upon the birth of Christ so many years ago. Jesus truly is the reason for the season, and at Cedarville, that is the heart of why we do what we do! So, amidst all the fun, the coziness, and the chaos that the Christmas season brings, I encourage you to focus your eyes on the reason we celebrate: Christ came into the world as an infant, died the death we deserved as a payment for our sin, and rose to life three days later. Because of Him, we now have life according to His great mercy, grace, and love! May He alone be our source of true joy this Christmas season!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are so many Christmas events happening here at Cedarville.
