URBANA -- Students took a break from studying today to spread holiday cheer. Seventy-five 5th graders from Leal Elementary traveled around Urbana.  They were performing a Christmas flash mob.  The students wore Santa hats and danced to "All I Want for Christmas is You."  It is something they've been excited about for weeks.

    We caught up with the students at the Illini Union but they also stopped at grocery stores and the Urbana Library -- just to name a few.
