Christmas at Marywood & Downtown Scranton
Concluding Thanksgiving break, Marywood will be kicking off their holiday events with the annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, on Wednesday, December 2nd, in the Rotunda. Every year, a twenty foot tree is selected and meticulously strung with lights, which President Munley has the honor of flipping the switch, effectively heralding the start of the Christmas season on campus. The lighting of the tree is followed by caroling, refreshments and the presentation of gifts by campus organizations and clubs. The ceremony is a favorite amongst students and the community and evokes fond memories of Christmas’ passed and anticipation of Christmas to come.
