\"\"Christmas has been an event traditionally embraced by generations of\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Setonians as a special time in their lives both in experiencing campus traditions leading up to the celebration and looking back at memorable days of yore.\u00a0 This prelude and embrace of the holiday is not only clearly expressed in such Seton Hall traditions as the Nativity Scene constructed outside of the Immaculate Conception Chapel, the presence of Holly Wreaths on entrance ways on many iconic buildings from South Orange Avenue to Ward Place, Musically-Themed Concerts, Pageants, Plays, and other artistic endeavors\u00a0that highlight Holiday Music, and other signs of the season are evident across campus throughout December.\u00a0 In recent times, the lighting of the Christmas Tree found outside of President\u2019s Hall has grown into a major event each year and officially signals the beginning of celebrations campus-wide.\u00a0 The popularity of these and other rituals are not only anticipated, but are typically announced or memorialized in that most customary of seasonal gifts – the Christmas Card.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The University has issued a number of different seasonal greetings over the years and these posts have offered not only joyful wishes and expressions of peace, but also featured illustrations or photographs that capture the feeling of the school community in collective celebration.\u00a0 These cards often link to the spirit of Christmas Past or Christmas Present in their look along with expressing the positive wish for New Year and Christmas Future in word and sentiment.\u00a0 A few historical examples are provided here to show some of the shared experience.<\/p>\n
