If you're celebrating Christmas this holiday season, imagine one without any twinkling lights, candles in the windows or fresh pine smell of a real tree.

A small tent stands just past a fence next to Jeffrey Field. The small 3,500-seat venue is dwarfed by the visage of Beaver Stadium and its 107,000 capacity, just a few lots away. The shadow of the stadium makes the tent reserved for postgame soccer press conferences seem like a speck by comparison. A part-time starter. A young guard fighting for playing time. Penn State basketball fans were in for a few surprises last night when they arrived at the Bryce Jordan Center -- but not because of the game's outcome. This Saturday night, the Penn State wrestling team will begin the serious part of its season when Navy invades Rec Hall for the opening Nittany Lion dual meet of 2003-2004. After three weeks of tournaments, the Lions' lineup has begun to take shape, but questions still remain. My Opinion: Sheil Kapadia My Opinion: Becky Cantor

With the holiday season in full swing, you might find yourself quoting Charlie Brown's sister Sally by saying, "All I want is what I have coming to me. All I want is my fair share." Savoir Faire means "know-how", and these women have it when applied to a cappella singing. You put your psychology textbook in hoc to go see him in Hershey last September. You avoided studying for your trig test to burn CDs of that "totally phat" show he and the Band played in Chicago in December of '98 for the guy who lives next door. And you broke up with your girlfriend because you kept insisting you heard "What Would You Say?" way before it was on the radio. You spent all semester waiting for tonight, and now the semester's over. And Dave is your reward. If you live on the West Side of town, you've walked past it a thousand times. You may have even gone in and bought milk. But if you haven't noticed the sub shop inside Boots Dairyette, 401 W. Beaver Ave., you are missing out on some of the best food-for-your-buck in town. Mixing very different genres of music together may seem strange, but tomorrow night’s highly-anticipated concert at the Bryce Jordan Center will prove otherwise. Reader's Picks of the Year for 2003 For this winter break movie preview, we decided not to mention any of those sure-to-be blockbusters that are coming out in the next several weeks. Yeah, some of them look pretty decent, but we feel that they have already gotten and will continue to get plenty of exposure from, say, every other media outlet in the world. So, here instead is a winter preview of some good-looking films, which won't appear on lunchboxes or happy meals and probably won't monopolize the airwaves with snazzy 30-second TV spots, but you should think about seeing them anyway. For some, creating music is more than a skill, a passion or a mission. It's an affliction they can't and don't shake off, an addiction they embrace and craft into a weekly gig with fellow aficionados and friends. I always thought the holiday season was supposed to be a time of giving. The Acoustic Brew will be adding to its repertoire of quality folk and acoustic music when Americana, country roots and traditional folk specialist John Lilly performs Saturday at Center for Well Being, 123. Mt. Nittany Road, in Lemont. Tony Lentz is in training. I love you, you love me, Barney at the BJC. The State College Choral Society and the Nittany Valley Symphony will present a holiday performance of Handel's Messiah at 2 p.m. Sunday in Eisenhower Auditorium. Looking back, I'm sure most would agree that the first day of high school was a pretty traumatic one. High school in general can be quite a traumatic, dramatic experience, especially for a shy, emotional kid who doesn't have many friends. Christmas comes but once a year, much to the thanks of holiday music haters. So if you're a Grinch when it comes to jingle bells and fa-la-la's, perhaps these selections will get you through the new year.
