This year, Boston University is offering students, staff, and faculty plenty of ways to celebrate the holidays. If it doesn’t feel like Christmas without the classics, the Marsh Chapel Choir, the Seminary Singers, and the Catholic Center Choir will present the annual University Lessons and Carols, featuring the music of Gardner, Mouton, and Schutz, on Friday, December 1, at 6 p.m. Sports fans can catch the Figure Skating Club’s winter show on Saturday, December 2, at 7 p.m., and a cappella enthusiasts have a number of events to choose from — the Allegrettos, Aural Fixation, the Dear Abbeys, Chordially Yours, and the Treblemakers all have concerts in the first weeks of December.

A list of University holiday celebrations — including a University-wide Gingerbread House Building competition — is below. Click on the links in each listing for more information, or visit the University calendar.
