    OHIO Holiday Lights

    H appy H olidays

    from Ohio University

    Holiday (Brick) Ro-o-o-o-ad...

    Inspired by the famous holiday house of Griswold, we've added a million-ish seasonal lights to your favorite website* along with this year's installment of our annual Holiday Parody video — "Winter Vacation". She's a beaut, Rufus!

    (Look, it was this or a subscription to the Jelly of the Month Club.)

    Slip on your coziest sweaters and greenest OHIO gear, sip your 'nog and peruse our curated collection of Bobcat holiday traditions — including our archive of past holiday parody videos, the Front Room yule log, a snowy walk down Court Street, and more.

    Watch and share with your kith and kin — and certainly the special 'Cats in your life.

    *Okay, maybe not quite a million lights. Our website lights will not cause a city-wide power outage. They may however knock you out with a surge of holiday cheer.

    Ohio University's Winter Vacation

    Oh, the silent majesty of a winter's morn. … The clean, cool chill of the holiday air. … Rufus in his holiday flannel on a ladder and Coach Boals doing his best Cousin Eddie impression. Sit back and enjoy this year’s OHIO holiday parody video.

    Holiday Activities to Spread Some Cheer

    Enjoy the silent majesty of a winter's morn and the clean, cool chill of the holiday air with Bobcat-infused activities to help you get in the holiday spirit.

    • Create Your Own Snowflake

      The holidays are the perfect time to craft, so Rufus (with some help from OHIO designer and alum Kyle Lindner) whipped up an easy, printable snowflake project to help you and your family get in the holiday (and Bobcat) spirit.
