Trinidad Chambliss officially starts Christmas in Oxford

The holiday season is officially under way in Oxford after getting help from Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss on Thursday. Chambliss was the honorary switch flipper during the City of Oxford’s Lighting on the Square event, turning on the Christmas lights all around the Downtown Square. “I’m excited and I’m blessed. Honestly, this is my second home,” Chambliss said to the crowd gathered in front of Oxford’s city hall. “I’m truly grateful for every one of you guys. So, thank you.” Chambliss was selected by Oxford mayor Robyn Tannehill, who felt the Rebels signal caller was the perfect candidate to turn on the holiday spirit for the city this year after the taking Ole Miss fans, and Oxford by storm the last season and a half. He has also embraced Oxford back in return. “Trinidad Chambliss is not only an amazing football player, he’s an amazing human,” Tannehill told the Oxford Eagle prior to the ceremony.
