I love the holidays. Categorically. Unapologetically. Everything about it. Mark already explained a bit about the Christmas Concert and Vespers, the two events that usher in the holiday season at Trinity. They also herald the coming of finals, but that's another post.

Anyway, one of the Blue Key Honor Society's annual volunteer projects is to make the luminariums that line the streets of Oakmont after Vespers. That way people will be able to see as they make their way from house to house for yummy treats and caroling. It was pretty fun, and now I have one more artsy-crafty thing to add to my repertoire.

Blue Key people making luminariums. We made so many! Look, it's Sebastian!

Here is one of the houses on Oakmont after Vespers. I couldn't get any good pictures of the Vesper's service, but take my word that it was very beautiful and uplifting. Brittany, Pat, Daniel and I were very lucky to get seats in the pews. Well, not lucky so much as smart enough to arrive an hour early. Advice: Vespers is very popular and the chapel isn't huge, so if you want to get a good set, plan on getting there at least 30 minutes before the prelude starts.

The very cool Bell Choir.

And, of course, our luminariums!
