This holiday tradition, hosted by the Student Government Association, annually draws more than 500 students as well as faculty, staff and their families to Willingham Auditorium or the grounds outside it. The Mercer Singers and the Mercer Bearitones lead the audience in carols, the University Minister offers a Christmas meditation, and a faculty member entertains the audience with a traditional Christmas reading. The event concludes with the lighting of the Mercer Christmas tree and the serving of cookies and hot chocolate.
