Wofo Christmas Traditions

An inside look at what your peers do for the holidays

For the Holidays Freshman, Makenzie Burdine, says her Christmas tradition is: “On Christmas Eve we go to a candle lighting service.  It is a regular church mass and toward the end we all have a candle. Everyone gets into a big circle and the priest lights his candle and passes the light around. It represents unity and giving.” Photo by Tanyea Ramirez.
