Rockport: Bearskin Neck, Dock Square and on up the hill for those last minute Christmas Presents.

Posted on by paultmorrison

There were carolers this weekend but most of the stores I hit were going to be open all the way to Christmas Eve. So that pair of earrings or feather boa, salad bowl, or nutcracker, or that weird gift, the big stone thing to put in the garden and put a candle inside.

Bearskin Neck is a must but make sure you make it all the way down main street because there are gold mines of goodies all through town.

 

The best part is easy in and out. Rockport meters are all covered and plenty of street parking available.

The tongue is just too much to take. Not only possessing the length but equally impressive girth.
Strap on the gimp mask and he might as well be Brad Pitt under there.

I Hope All The People That Are Wishing For A White Christmas Get Coal In their Stockings

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

I have a terrible memory.  I mean terrible terrible.  But one thing I won’t forget is the horrific winter snow shoveling last year.

So for all those people who keep saying they’re bummed out that there won’t be a white Christmas- be careful what you wish for.

I’ll take 68 degrees and muggy any time.

Better to Give Than Receive

Posted on by Nichole S.

So proud of my students last week! They decided that it would be better to give than receive. They opted to skip the annual gingerbread house making for themselves and instead baked like crazy in class and at home. We then made a list of recipients and delivered holiday treats from Beverly to Ipswich to people whom our school is thankful for. We wish we could have made 100 more stops.

Please take a minute to watch  how amazing they are!
