On the 24th and 25th, you
can take your pick of musical celebrations: A late-night
Christmas Eve Festival Service at the Episcopal
Church of the Resurrection on Saturday, and the Rich Glauber
and Friends First Night of Chanukah Celebration
at Temple Beth Israel on Sunday. Also on Saturday night,
the Days Between Café hosts a Grateful Dead Christmas
Party, a night of music, dancing, food, drinks and
more, with all proceeds going to efforts to keep the café
open. Doubtless these are just three of the many celebrations
taking place for a whole host of holidays, so do enjoy
the weekend — even if you just spend it lazing on
the couch, moaning about having eaten too much. See Calendar.
It's
a quiet week in Eugene 'round Christmas, but before heading
elsewhere (or holing up) for the holiday weekend, you
could stop by the Eugene Symphony's new tradition, the
Yuletide Celebration. The "holiday spectacle" stars
Oregonian columnist Margie Boulé, who's joined
on the Hult Center stage not just by the Symphony, but
by a host of dancing elves and Santas as well. Traditional
Christmas carols and a short musical version of A Christmas
Carol are featured in the performance. See Thurday,
Dec. 22 Calendar.
