Santa Claus is Coming to Obie Town
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the lane, snow is…not glistening. But it sure is still a beautiful sight when Santa Claus comes to town.
It’s a tradition that escapes the notice of many of us at the College, since Santa arrives in Oberlin the day after Thanksgiving, when most students are at home in post-turkey comas. But Santa will make his annual pilgrimage to Oberlin next Friday, Nov. 23, parading down Main Street with Mrs. Claus before stopping at the intersection of Main and College for the ceremonial tree-lighting.
As Santa hunkers down in the Cable Co-op to receive visitors, the streets of downtown Oberlin will begin to glow with twinkle lights and a cozy charm that welcomes students back to campus, putting an extra bounce in the step of the Main Street shopper. For in such an idyllic, twinkling Oberlin, dreams must really come true.
Santa is a busy man, and he makes the most of his stay in Oberlin. On December 1, he makes his way to the Oberlin Inn, where he breakfasts with all who care to join him. And the next day, he settles into a cozy chair at the Apollo to watch movies with the town.
But Santa isn’t all play and no work. While he is schmoozing, he is also constructing his list of naughty and nice. So, Oberlin, put on your best face, because Santa Claus is coming to town!
