Two great events at the Strauss House Mansion of the Atlantic Highlands Historical Society will bring in the Christmas season with joy, music, children, fun and friendship as the Society hosts a couple of major events for families and friends.
On Sunday, December 15, at 4:30 p.m.., the famed movie, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer will be on the screen at the historic mansion, with all youngsters over three years of age and their families invited for the free showing. Society members plan several surprises and a guaranteed fun afternoon complete with popcorn. Rumors indicate Santa Claus may be in the crowd to check out today’s children’s reaction to his ninth reindeer who came late to the team but remained at its lead ever since.
Then on Thursday, December 19, everyone is invited to hear the outstanding Atlantic Highlands Elementary School choir sing Christmas carols a capella for a performance beginning at 7:30. Once again, blending the nostalgic music of Christmas with the excellence of the elementary school singing with their usual enthusiasm, promises an exciting evening. There will also be some snacks afterwards.
While both events are offered at no cost, it’s always a good time to make a contribution to the upkeep of the Mansion and all the Society’s efforts and activities, so that would not be out of place at either event. It’s also the time to think of that new family in your neighborhood or that college student away from home who would appreciate a Christmas gift of a membership in the HIstorical Society.
