College Walk is crammed with merrymakers for the annual tree-lighting ceremony. All in all, it is a very Columbia Christmas: the Kingsmen modified “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” with a verse on lovebirds PrezBo and Ahmadinejad and Eric Foner gave a Bush-bashing speech about critical thinking in the new year. An unfortunate elderly gentlemen picked this hour to drive across College Walk and was greeted by Manhattan-centric cries of “Jersey plates! Oh, shameful!”
Best of all were the tables and tables of cookies (store bought) and hot beverages (a fine, tart cider and a very chocolatey, smooth cocoa). Spread among the free food were jingle bells, an informal poll (sample size 6) of which revealed one-third to be jingleless decoys. Make sure to grab a ringing one and join the procession from Low to John Jay lounge, where the Yule Log ceremony will start around 7.

@myohmy oh my our acapella groups are kindasorta awful. no wonder they didn’t get into yale.
@nahh non-sequitur’s “let it snow” in 5/4 was pretty awesome. i feel like they’re the only acapela group with some semblance of music knowledge . . . all the other groups just repeat the same background over and over
@hurray! kate linthicum!
@hot cider!! I heard XMAS2 sing and they were awesome! I can’t wait for their show on Monday.
@EAL Yule Log is awesome. It’s great to see John Jay decked out for the holidays. Cherry tarts and egg nog afterwards help.
