Second East Olson Open House

By Gabby Carlson | Echo

Your aunt greets you, asking why she hasn't seen you all year. Your grandma asks you why you don't have a girlfriend/boyfriend yet. Milk and cookies are waiting by the fireplace, and you can hear the neighborhood kids caroling, or, rather, squeaking out lyrics to your now least-favorite Christmas tune. Is this how Christmas looks at your house? Yes?

Awkward family Christmas was in full swing last Sunday night on Second East Olson.

Now imagine you aren't at home. You are in Olson Hall, and the women of Second East greet you by pinching your cheeks and acting like your most annoying relatives during their third annualAwkward Family Christmas. Scarier than that, people dressed as milk and cookies roamed the halls, waiting for Santa to arrive, afraid to be consumed, but excited to get a glimpse of Father Christmas himself. Lights sparkle above you and snowflakes fall around the hall. Participation was lacking in some areas, but those walking through Second East Olson's awkward family Christmas nightmare smiled and laughed all along the way.
