From 2:00 to 5:00 pm we’ll have ornament painting in our 120-year-old stable, complete with 15-foot Christmas tree. Holiday music from acoustic guitarist Mike Henry will start at 3:00 pm. At 4:15 pm we’ll gather under the tree for the “kids carols” event, including Jingle Bells, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer and more. After a short break, at 5:00 pm we’ll begin our traditional carols, including Hark the Heralds, Joy to the World, God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman and more!

To get everyone warmed up, The Jittery Mouse will have Holiday Drinks available for purchase! Hot Cocoa, Hot Apple Cider & Peppermint Mocha & Sugar Cookie Coffees! And for the adults in the crowd, the winery will have mulled wine available as well as our usual selection of award-winning wine, cider, beer and hot-mulled wine.

We’ll have a handful of local vendors for your last minute gifts, and local author Teresa Maley reading from kids book “A wish I may A wish I might”.

Want to help further the holiday spirit? Bring a batch of your favorite holiday cookies (and a tin to take other cookies home with you) if you want to participate in the optional cookie exchange.

We’ve also received word from the North Pole that a very special, very jolly, very ho-ho-ho-happy someone will be stopping by the festivities to see the kids and will be sitting for pictures starting at 2:30 pm.

Please note that the caroling will be held in our 120-year-old barn – which is uninsulated. We will have a handful of space heaters running, but jackets are encouraged if the weather is cool.
