As Christmas rolls around its only obvious that APU needs to get into the spirit! Our hall would feel so lonely without some much needed decorating. After all, what is the holiday season without candy canes, Christmas trees, snowmen, and Christmas lights! On Thursday night we had a huge celebration called “Christmas Chaos” outside the dorms complete with snow cones, popcorn, bull riding, karaoke, amazing drummers, a massive Christmas tree, and a scene depicting the birth of Jesus (oh how I love my Jesus-loving school).

Then, later that night we had the judging for the most intense holiday decorating you will ever see in your life… TRINITY DECK THE HALLS! You basically get together with your entire hall and stay up all Wednesday night decorating in the most elaborate, creative way imaginable. Although we didn’t win, I think we deserved to! Don’t take my word for it though, see for yourself:
WINTER WONDERLAND

OH HEY LOOK, ITS JESUS!
And here are just a few of the other halls and their amazing decorating skills:
The boys and their amazing lighting skills
The winning hall! A Starbucks Christmas!
Oh boy, only a guy's hall would think of creating a human snow-globe.
Some more "Deck the Halls" madness!
Finally, the after effects of realizing we have to take down all of our decorations that we spent hours on because it is such a massive fire hazard:
Sad.
