Christmas Comes Early at the 'Ville Why is it that each year as Cedarville students arrive home at the end of fall quarterand are metwith the hustle and bustle ofthe holidayseason,theyexperienceasense of deja vu? Whydoes itseem that Christmas is already over...that the decorations have been taken down...and the extra weight gained? Three words: Christmas Open House. That's right--'Villestudents get Christmas twice. Each year between Thanksgiving and Christmasvacations,every unit and hall on campus picks atheme,gathers decorations, and transforms their rooms into various works of art. Such aesthetically aware judges as Dr. Matson visit every dorm and choose an overall hall and unit winner ABOVE: Do I see Dr. Dixon singing one of Amy Grant's Christmas tunes?! This is living proof that our beloved President knows how to have a good time. Right: A hall in McKinney portrays an old time Christmas with the whole family. and a secondary "best of dorm"winnerforthe men and women. Dinner at The Olive Garden orDon Pablo'sawaits the grand prize winners while pizza parties await the runners up. Themesthis year included a Lumberjack Christmas,the Twelve Days of Christmas, an elementary school, a Secret Service facility, Christmas in Space,and a shop to help the women along with their M.R.S. degrees. The only thing missing from the Open House nights was a guestappearancefrom Santa himself, but Dr. Dixon had been asked to fill in for him. He did an excellent job, posing for many pictures and samplingafew platesofcookies. Erin Johns Photos by Eric Fivela student life
