Hi All,
Happy Holidays! It seems the older we get the faster time moves!! This month is chock full of events and activities. So please check the events calendar and mark your calendars to join in the fun.
Hanukkah, the Jewish festival honoring the fight for religious freedom begins on December 7 and lasts for 8 days. Latkes, (a traditional Hanukkah food) may find a way into our dining room.
We are planning another trip to the Greater Boston Stage Company in Stoneham to see the production of All is Calm. A remarkable true story, told in the
words and songs of the men who lived it. The Western Front, Christmas, 1914. Out of the violence a silence, then a song. A German soldier steps into No Man’s Land singing “Stille Nacht.” Thus begins an extraordinary night of camaraderie, music, peace. We are scheduled to see it on Sunday December 10th. Seating is limited. Please see page 5 for details.
In preparation of the Holiday, we will be creating Christmas Ornaments with Erica. We also will be continuing with our Music after Lunch series, make
Boxwood Trees, have our annual Christmas party at the Knights of Columbus, featuring special guests and finish off the month with our “Almost New Year’s Eve Party” and sing Happy Birthday to all our December babies. All this and more, so buckle up and come be part of the celebrations.
I want to wish you and your families and all you hold dear a Happy and Blessed Holiday Season. Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas to all.
Best,
Mary
