It feels like just yesterday when your Deacs moved to campus. This semester has truly gone by in a flash.

Things are exceedingly quiet on campus. I don’t think there are 20 cars outside of the section of the big parking lot closest to Alumni Hall. It is raining hard this morning (11 am as I type) and rain is not what we need. This has already felt like the wettest year in recent memory.

As a reminder, all WFU offices (save for Police) will be closed through New Year’s Day. But thanks to the miracle of pre-scheduling blog content, the Daily Deac will be able to bring you some specially-created conversation starters for you and your Deacs during the break.

Please wish our Deacs good fortune in the Birmingham Bowl. And a reminder from our WAKECommunities: if you can’t be at the Birmingham Bowl, WAKECommunities around the country are hosting gatherings so Wake Foresters can cheer the Deacs on to victory.

For our Gen X parents and families out there, we’ll close out the week with a couple of songs you may have heard a lot during your childhoods around Christmas. If you want to take a stroll down memory lane, click on the pictures to play. I know I watched these specials every year.
