With Christmas only 16 days away, many Marist students are looking forward to going home for winter break. However, the end of the semester means that the dreaded finals week is vastly approaching. Students have final papers, presentations, and tests throughout these next two weeks, which can put a damper on the holiday spirit.
One giant reminder that symbolizes the holiday season at Marist is the gigantic Christmas tree outside of the chapel. The lights were finally turned on last Sunday night after the 7 p.m. mass. The tree shines brightly throughout the night and will illuminate for the rest of the semester.
