The president of the college would dress up in a Santa Claus suit and read "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas." Our biggest rival was UVa and the passages referring to Hoos down in Hoo-ville always broke everyone up. Then each student was given a bit of holly to toss onto the fire with all attendant bad fortune and wishes for a better year.<br /><br />That may be the only thing I miss about those years.Easy and Elegant Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951907004091808223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1371061786274762220.post-78546929566988644602009-11-02T11:40:16.678+00:002009-11-02T11:40:16.678+00:00JMW - Thank you so much for the visit and your inc...JMW - Thank you so much for the visit and your incredibly flattering remarks.

They named her Elspeth and called her Els for short. In America she thought better of it and called herself Liz. She now lives in Belgium so I guess she got her karmic retribution, no?
