Verily, the holiday season has begun. While I consider myself an atheist, I attended the InterVarsity Christmas Service last night. InterVarsity is the only Christian youth organization I’m aware of on campus.
Last night’s event was their anual Christmas carol sing-along (with instrumental accompaniment, arranged by a first year from my house, for most of the songs), including a sermon by a local pastor, from Hyde Park Trinity Church as I recall.
It was heartwarming to hear the carols filling Bond Chapel, one of the chapels which is smaller and less renowned than the Rockefeller Chapel. And afterward, I made cookies in my RH’s apartment, which was almost as heartwarming—they even had a Christmas tree and stockings.
In any case, Christmas is coming, and I’m very excited.
