In preparation for the annual Christmas tree lighting, Lou Maillet (on the ground), Eric Hoche (left, in the bucket), and Steve Vettori from the University’s facilities services, string lights onto a tree adjacent to O’Neill Plaza. The public event, “Christmas Lights on the Heights,” takes place on Friday, December 2, at 4 p.m. and includes refreshments, caroling, live music, and a winter clothing drive. Other holiday events at Boston College include the “Annual Christmas Concert,” “A Dancer’s Christmas,” “An Evening of Irish and Appalachian Song,” and the “Christmas at Trinity” concert.
