Campus Christmas has always been a time for the community of Cedarville to shine. Along with all the regular events, like open dorms and late night Chuck's activities, Cedarville introduced a new tradition: the lighting of a 32-foot Christmas tree outside of the lower SSC. This tree doubled as a decoration and a representation of Giving Tuesday. Melanie Edris, an Alumni Office employee, said, "The ornaments that decorated the big tree represented someone who had given a financial gift to the university on Giving Tuesday. Their name was written on the ornament as a small way to thank them for their generosity." The tree lighting was a special event, with a performance by the Inversions, a Christmas sing-along, and a reading of the Christmas story. "Students, faculty, staff, and Cedarville community members were all incredibly supportive and eager to be a part of this new tradition that will take place for year to - come...It was such a fun opportunity to celebrate th Christmas season... " Edris said.
