"Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping." - Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) American novelist, poet, playwright, and art collector
Along with pretty much everything else these days, holiday shopping is going to be different this year. We urge you to help keep us all safe by avoiding crowds, but to also consider doing your inevitable spending on the local level. Our neighborhood merchants, restaurateurs and artisans need our support now more than ever! For inspiration and specials, keep an eye on downtown organizations like Hackettstown BID, Hope Area Chamber of Commerce, Phillipsburg Area Chamber of Commerce and Phillipsburg Downtown Association, and Washington BID. The photo above - of the first snowfall of the season in Washington Borough - was lifted from Washington BID's Facebook page.
Okay, lecture over. Let’s focus on the positive, be grateful, and celebrate the joys of season!
Happy Hanukkah to our Jewish friends, and Happy Wanderings!
Coming Up
Stop in and enjoy the sights of the holiday, the scents of the season and the feeling of Christmas all in one place!
Visit Brook Hollow Winery and Event Facility for live music Friday evening (Scott Messina), Saturday afternoon (John Cain) and Sunday afternoon (Rich Berry).
This will be a FREE drive through light and decoration experience. Families will remain in their car to see Candy Cane Lane, created by the Hackettstown BID, the Hackettstown Recreation Department, and the GREAT businesses of the Hackettstown BID.
This weekend Villa Milagro will celebrate Las Posadas, a traditional early California/Mexican celebration of the journey of Joseph and Mary in search of lodging. As they were turned away at each inn, they were offered small bites of food to sustain their travels.
Country Gate Players presents a Zoom virtual murder mystery show! A community theater is preparing a holiday production of Dickens’ classic "A Christmas Carol." On the surface, a jovial group, but there is more to the company than meets the eye! An egomaniacal and philandering leading man has rubbed almost everyone the wrong way. At this joyous time of year, all is not as it seems. Suddenly someone is very dead! You’re sure to enjoy this holiday cavalcade of classically comic catastrophes. The show is intended for an adult audience. Tickets are free - register to get yours - but a donation to the theatre in Belvidere is requested.
Remember a favorite time of your life with covers of memorable hits over the decades with great showmanship, musicianship and high energy that will get you moving. The Giants vs. Cardinals game will be on during the show.
Sure to put you in the holiday spirit, Hackettstown BID is bringing back Candy Cane Lane at Hackettstown High School. Santa and one of his elves will hand all cars a goody bag at the end. Reservations are required so sign up today!
Continuing
Final weekend! Centenary Stage Company rings in the Holiday Season with a brand-new adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol by Stephen Temperley. Recapture the spirit of an old-fashioned Christmas with this timeless and ghostly Dickens classic featuring all the favorite characters—Tiny Tim and the Cratchit family, the Fezziwigs, the Ghosts of Christmas past, present and yet-to-come—and, of course, the curmudgeon, Ebenezer Scrooge. Performances run through December 13 in the Sitnik Theatre of the Lackland Performing Arts Center. Ticket prices range from $15 to $29.50 with discounts available on select performances.
The Blairstown Enhancement Committee wants to serve as many small and local businesses as it can in this unusual time.
