With the central theme of generosity, Thanksgiving and Christmas provide opportunities to give back to the community — and at All-University Thanksgiving and Christmas on Fifth, attendees can spread the spirit of giving right here at Baylor.
Trish Baum, program manager for resources for the Center for Academic Success and Engagement, and Doug Baum, former Cameron Park zookeeper, have brought animals to Christmas on Fifth for close to 20 years. Doug Baum said the animals give people a window into rural American life while creating a visual representation of the story of the birth of Jesus.
Throughout November and December, both Baylor and the City of Waco hold a variety of events to celebrate the holiday season.
A thankful heart doesn’t need to make a huge gesture to have an impact on someone’s life or your own. Next time you stop to be thankful, hopefully it isn’t simply because someone asked what you’re thankful for.
Some might disagree, but I believe Christmas is about more than the birth of Christ. I know that sounds ridiculous, because it has his name in it. I certainly acknowledge that Jesus is the reason a lot of people celebrate Christmas, but I have different reasons.
