What is more enchanting than a cup of hot cocoa and Christmas carols before the reading of the Christmas story and lighting of our beautiful Christmas tree?

Welcome to Hanging of the Green, an annual celebration bringing together all the departments at MBU to usher in the holiday season.

On Tuesday, Dec. 2, at 5 p.m., come to the Quad for candle lighting, caroling and Christmas trees.

Faculty and staff from multiple departments on campus will hang traditional Chrismon ornaments representing their respective departments.

Chrismons are simply decorations, usually ornaments, with traditional Christmas symbols like the cross, the crown and the star of David.

You can also enjoy carriage rides and games, plus hot cocoa and cookies in the Perk.

Bundle up, come ready for fun and help welcome the Christmas season to MBU.

You will not want to miss this event before leaving campus this semester.
