Georgetown celebrates the Christmas season with musical and communal traditions.

Members of the university community celebrated the holiday season with the annual tree lighting in Dahlgren Quardrangle, where student a capella groups graced listeners with traditional carols on Dec. 5. Prior to the tree lighting, faculty and staff brought their children to the annual Children’s Holiday Party at the president’s office.
