The Best Parts of Midnight Breakfast as Told By Elf

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

What’s not to love about Midnight Breakfast? This fun Fairfield tradition brings the school community together in a hilarious and delicious way. Get ready to celebrate the best parts of Midnight Breakfast with Buddy the Elf…

1. When you first arrive at the BCC and you begin catching up with everybody you haven’t seen all semester on the Christmas Breakfast line.

2. The Christmas decorations everywhere in the BCC you can’t help but touch.

3. And slowly but steadily you begin making your way up the Barone stairs. 

4. Everyone gets extremely enthusiastic when a professor finally delivers breakfast!

5. Barone food tastes 100x better than usual, even though everything on your plate from French toast sticks to eggs seemto be covered in syrup.

6. Singing and dancing on the table with your best friends and new friends you meet through your mutual love for pancakes and NSYNC.

7. The traditional Christmas conga line through the tables begins.

8. When Mariah Carey comes on singing “All I Want For Christmas is You”… because all anybody wants for Christmas Breakfast is for this song to come on.

9. That one kid who dresses up in a cheap Santa suit who becomes an instant celebrity that everybody wants to take a picture with.

10. Continuing the party after everybody gets kicked out of Barone at the Townhouses or Beach houses.

11. And of course the reading day the next day, thank God!
