We know that the holidays can be every bit as frantic as they are wonderful so the Missouri State University Alumni Association would like to offer a little help.

If …

• Fido has eaten the holiday ham and the kids get into the cookie dough before it hits the oven
• Uncle Joe is still holding that grudge from last year and insists on making sure the whole family knows it
• You’re reading this from the floor of the airport where you’ve been nestled up snug on your rollerboard for the last two days
• After meticulously mapping out how to give equal time to parents, step-parents, grands, in-laws, cousins, favorite aunts, kids and friends, you discover you’ve planned the perfect 36 hour day
• You still don’t have a New Year’s Eve date…

Then … Bear UP! It’s the most wonderful time of the year, after all. We can help:

• Cheer up with Missouri State’s digital wallpaper for your office computer, phone or TV
• Keep the kiddos busy with free Boomer coloring pages (minus printing)
• Take a trip or send the in-laws away for a few weeks
• Give the best gift of all, new BearWear from the Missouri State Bookstore
  • Take a Bear family pic with your new BearWear and submit your picture to be featured on the homepage in 2019
• Plan to spend a night out with fellow Bears at an upcoming MarooNation event or MarooNation Ball
• Feed your inner #CitizenBear through volunteerism in 2019
