Free chestnuts, hot cocoa, holiday cheer and school spirit at the tree lighting outside on College Walk in 35 minutes!
Update 6:21 PM: It’s dark now, and there are a lot of people milling around with cups of scalding hot chocolate, mobbing tables of marshmallows while holiday a capella is broadcast on loudspeakers (Bwog almost brought one tumbling down by tripping over a cord).
We’re told there’s supposed to be a big log around here somewhere.

@xmas! people in butler disapproved of the noise level. bunch of scrooges. bahumbug.
@oh columbia so telling that there were probably more people in butler muttering to themselves about their workloads than outside celebrating.
@i like religion Why can’t you be a proud secularist and let other people have their religion?
I am personally agnostic, but I like religion, for other people. I agree with Marx, its the opiate of the people, and I like the masses as docile as possible.
@hmm can someone please decipher what the “representative of the faculty” said in his speech?? It was….incomprehensible but I think he was saying something about….light? while quoting songs? and poems? In free verse? ….the fuck?
@hey don’t go bashin on o’meally! the man is brilliant! and his speech was brilliant — penetrated with light, actually.
@I was a little taken aback when he started talking about “the blackness of harlem…penetrated by light”…
@not an advertisement *cappella

@secular santa what was with the religious carols being sung before the lighting? i basked in the glory of what was an avril lavigne serenaded tree lighting last year. what happened to columbia’s secular pride?
