Merry [Early] Christmas!

By Torie Abbott

Christmas comes early for Baylor students! On Thursday, December 4th, Baylor students, faculty and their families, along with the community of Waco, will celebrate a long-standing university tradition: Christmas on 5th Street. This is one of my favorite traditions. Baylor’s 5th Street is turned into a Winter Wonderland, with Christmas lights and red and green (and gold) galore.

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. With finals approaching, it can be difficult to be full of Christmas spirit. Christmas on 5th Street allows for students to relax before the studying takes over. It also gives students a chance to celebrate the holiday at school and embrace the Christmas spirit.

Another unique aspect of Christmas on 5th is that it is also geared toward families. From petting zoos to hot chocolate, camels to a Christmas tree lighting, photo booths to sleigh rides, Baylor families, along with families from all around Waco, are able to come to campus and enjoy the Christmas festivities.

This year, there will be a concert along with the regularly scheduled activities. Tickets are now available for purchase at the Baylor ticket office.

You do not want to miss out on Christmas on 5th!
