In addition to the ASLMU mugs and free hot chocolate, Iggy the Lion was in full Santa costume. Behind the tree was the ice skating rink, where your donation to take a few laps around the faux ice went straight to the Make-a-Wish Foundation. And if that wasn't enough holiday cheer, there were also horse-drawn carriage rides around Alumni Mall. There were a few hundred people both from LMU and the Westchester community gathered around. There were students spontaneously caroling and folks hugging everywhere. If snow had miraculously started falling from the sky, I wouldn't have been surprised.
And just as Fr. Lawton finished his blessing, the Christmas tree was lit, right on cue. Even Rockefeller Center could learn a thing or two from LMU.
