On a chilly Williamsburg night, the whole student body squeezes into the Wren Courtyard, where festive cressets (wood-burning torches) warm the crowd. The students are treated to live festive music and singing, student reflections on themes of hope and joy, and the reading of a special story.  Afterward, frozen students make their way into the Great Hall to toss ceremonial sprigs of holly into the Yule log fire for good luck. Then it's hot cider and sugar cookies for everybody.
