::c 0 rN 0, When Than~sgiving dinner came to Chuck's, students, faculty/staff members and families from the community lined up for "home-cookin'" that launched the campus into the holiday spirit. The weekend after Thanksgiving break, Cedarville's resident halls opened their doors for the annual Christmas Open Dorms, an event which showed the creativity and spirit of Cedarville students. In Willetts, a hall jokingly declared their hall "All I want for Christmas is my MRS. (:jegree." In Lawlor and in Maddox, visitors could walk through Santa's workshop. The winning halls were announced the following weekend at Campus Christmas. Faith's "Christmas dinner goes through the digestive system" hall won overall for the women's dorms. Mcchesney Upper Middle's "Aborigine Christmas" won the grand prize for the men on campus. SCAB (The StudentsCenterActivities Board) pulled off a bigger, brighter, bolder Campus Christmas than in years past. "We decided to try something new for Campus Christmas this year with a student-led Christmas concert and movie in the DMC." (Jennifer Flynn, senior SCAB member) "[Planning] was kind of a challenge, because we were trying to make something attractive and new... l think it came out to be a success...it also left a lot more options open for the next years, because we did something different..." (Micah Chamber, senior SCAB member) The event began with a time of pictures with Santa, also known as Larry Reid, and refreshments. After student bands played our favorite Christmas tunes, Dr. Brown read Christmas stories to the students, and the night ended with the movie "The Santa Clause." New this Christmas, Dr. Brown's story time was relocated to the Jeremiah Chapel. Here, Dr. Brown reads " My Dad Ran Over a Frog." "Our theme was 'Christmas at the North Pole.' I was standing in our unit lounge, next to a polar bear and the North Pole. I was an eskimo.' ' (Stefan Martello, sophomore)
