Kristina Bengston asks-
I have been searching through all the restaurants but I can not find out if anyone is open on Christmas Eve.
Or are we left with Chinese take out?
Thanks so much

Hi Joey –
I wanted to be sure to share these fun pictures from the rehearsals for Welcome Yule! A Midwinter Celebration which will be presented on Sunday, December 21 at 3:30 PM at the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church.
Welcome Yule! is a family show filled with music, dance, songs and stories to drive the dark away. It features carols, wassailing songs, dancing, a mummers’ play and a Yule log procession. This festive, participatory celebration invites the audience to sing-a-long, laugh-a-long, even dance-a-long!
There is a $15 suggested donation for adults at the door; $10 for seniors and children five through sixteen; $40 family cap; age four and under free. This event will benefit the Meetinghouse Preservation Fund.
For more information visit Sing Through the Seasons on Facebook, or email folklifestudio@gmail.com.
Thanks!
Rose Sheehan, Folk Life Studio

Nichole’s “Family Picks of the Weekend” 12/20 and 12/21
This is the last weekend before Christmas so I’d like to remind you of a few events/attractions that you might want to squeeze in while you can.
Edaville Railroad Festival of Lights
Strawberry Banke Candlelight Stroll
My new picks for this week are as follows
#1 Holiday Delights!
Hopefully you’ve already read about this on GMG as it has been well covered!
The Gloucester Stage Youth Acting Workshops proudly presents Holiday Delights from December 19 through December 21 at Gloucester Stage Company, 267 East Main Street, Gloucester. Holiday Delights features a cast of over 30 young people ranging in age from 6 to 17, all students in Gloucester Stage Youth Acting Workshops.
A fantastic holiday event for all ages! Read much more about it here!
#2 Rockport’s 69th Annual Christmas Nativity Pageant
Follow the torch-lit procession beginning at Dock Square on Saturday evening at 5:00 and celebrate holiday traditions while sharing the story of the nativity.
#3 Wenham Museum
I list this as a “great take” this weekend for two reasons. On any given weekend from November to February, the Farm to Table by Train exhibit is worth seeing! My boys could watch the trains all day long. This weekend, however, is extra special because one of my favorite children’s authors is also at the Wenham Museum signing books! Meet Caldecott Award Winner, Chris Van Allsburg…maybe most famous this time of year for writing The Polar Express, but also the author of many other amazing books such as Jumangi, The Adventures of Harris Burdick, Just a Dream, and now The Misadventures of Sweetie Pie. See all of his books here.
#4 Public Skate at Talbot Rink
On most Saturdays and Sundays Talbot Rink offers almost two hours of public skating…from 2:00-3:50. A great chance to get active during the long cold winter months and see lots of familiar faces. Skate rentals are available and the cost is nominal.
Check out the rink here and find their calendar at the bottom of the link’s page.
The little “Green Bomber” in the black helmet with Schrafft displayed proudly (usually) on his back is my littler one. Watch out for him.

Tonight! Greg Luttrell joins The Dave Sag’s Blues Party @ The Rhumb Line. 8:30pm -11:30pm 12.18.2014

It’ll be good to have back Mr. Greg Lutrell this Thursday night. Just back from six months in in China, Greg’s bringing his wok and giving a demonstration on it’s use between sets of excruciatingly endocrining-inducing blues. He plays to die for and sings like an banshee in heat. You’re gonna love it. Our international composition also includes Mr. Benny Benson, our Irish Ace of Pace, on drummps, and your favorite Polish-Italian bassist: me. Ask your doctor if Dave sag’s Blues Party is right for you. Do not attempt to drive or operate heavy machinery whilst under the influence of three chords.
And, by the way, if I don’t see ya: Merry Xmas or Kwanza or seasonings greetings!
