“Miracle on 34th Street”
If you still need to get into the holiday spirit, please join us at 2:30 on Sunday, Dec. 20, for a showing of that old holiday classic film, “Miracle on 34th Street.” This heart-warming story of a young girl’s struggle with her belief in Santa Claus will surely bring a smile to your face and a Christmas carol to your lips.
“Holidays on Ice”
Speaking of holiday classics, at 7 p.m. on Monday, Dec, 21, the Penultimate Monday book club will be meeting to discuss “Holidays on Ice,” a hilarious collection of Christmas-themed short stories by David Sedaris.
From working as a department store elf to writing his annual Christmas newsletter, Sedaris takes a pointed look at our holiday traditions and finds the humor in the dark and the light sides of Christmas. Please join us for a festive discussion.
