Last night in a light snow we lit the Lobster Trap Tree, thanks to Art Haven, a lot of volunteers and children who showed up and painted the buoys.  The light snow yesterday brought a special magic to the city.  Merry Christmas from Gloucester!!!

Last night Beauport Hotel opened their door for a fabulous open house.  Santa welcomed lots of children.  The decorations were spectacular.  The staff went out of there day to make all feel merry!  Reminded me of how all the big hotels in New York did Christmas when I was a child.  Thank you Beauport for a fabulous night!!!

This morning from the dock.

Thanks to Sister Felicia and her amazing talent for creating the Christmas miracle, a great group of women created and decorated fabulous trees!!!

Sadly in Gloucester the clouds covered the first night in Gloucester.  I was able to capture a preview Friday night over Manchester by Sea.  Hoping tonight we will all see it in Gloucester in all its glory!

If you want a gift for the person who has everything stop by the Cape Ann Chamber Of Commerce and pick up a gift envelope for free, you add the $40.00 and they can order their very own Cape Ann Licence Plate.  All the instruction are in the gift envelope, you just add the cash.  The proceeds from the plates fund non-profits grant request on Cape Ann.  This year Cape Ann Farmer’s Market, Action and Backyard Growers were all recipients of grants.  So spread the Cape Ann Love!

The Cape Ann Chamber also has Gift Certificates that can be used at over 200 local merchants.  You will be giving a gift that won’t be returned and supports Cape Ann Businesses.

The Cape Ann Chamber Of Commerce is a collection point for Action Inc. PROJECT UPLIFT!  LET’S FILL UP OUR BOX!!!

It a beautiful day here in the SF Bay Area, going to be 70 degrees.  We’ve cooked and bake, now we walk the bay and then we eat and drink!  Butterflies from yesterday’s visit to Oakland Museum.

A turkey is a large bird in the genus Meleagris, which is one of only two birds native to America’s.  They were first called “Indian turkeys”.  An infant is called a “chick”, “poult” or turklette.  

They were once almost no Turkey’s to be found but now we find them everywhere, even in our yards.  They can be aggressive toward humans and pets.  Wild Turkey’s have a social structure or pecking order and humans are low on that order.  They believe 

they can dominate and that we are subordinates.  So as you eat your turkey on Thursday remember they were here first, be grateful they were!
