There’s a contagious wave of good vibes sweeping through Champaign this holiday season. Whether you’re catching up with old friends over dinner or just asking a stranger for help at the grocery store, the warmth and cheer are impossible to miss. Even Illini football fans have extra reasons to celebrate after a nail-biting win over Tennessee in the Music City Bowl. It feels like everyone’s embracing the season—sharing smiles, swapping stories, and even sending long-lost Christmas cards. What’s your favorite way to spread or soak up this community spirit as we ring in the new year? #Sports #Champaign #HolidaySpirit
