How to Make and Decorate a Natural Wreath, Holiday Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre, Activity, Event, Avoiding Holiday Stress

“Eating stale cookies and drinking warm milk by the fireplace at 2 a.m. while you learn Chinese from a 46-page set of assembly instructions.”  Got to laugh because I always paid extra for those assemblies.  No way I was dealing with that. 

Holiday dread or excitement?  All that baking, shopping, entertaining, and wrapping….Guess what?  I have not done any of it..haha  Well, maybe a little.  I encountered a long line at the Post Office in Rehoboth Beach; 5 people were in front of me.  Imagine that.  No patience, because here, at the Delaware Beaches, we usually do not have to make those long lines anywhere.   Hmm…at the height of the summer season, yes, restaurants are crowded, and finding parking is a pain.

But, it is December and we are all trying to mail our precious gifts.  So, there I was.  My Mother asked me last year to send her fruitcakes.  I am surprising her this year by sending them again.  I hope that’s what she wants.  By the time these are mailed to Puerto Rico, they will be worth their weight in gold.  And, they were, definitely heavy.  Fruitcakes are not my favorite, though.  Don’t they have fruitcakes in Puerto Rico, anyway? 

During the holidays is best to avoid stress by doing something fun.  I found an activity and an event.  They are on the same day and at the same venue.

Thursday, 12/15 – How to Make and Decorate a Natural Wreath, at 10:00 a.m.  This is a hands-on class making your own wreath and decorating from nature’s products.  It will be held at East Coast Garden Center, 30366 Cordrey Rd., Millsboro, DE 19966.

Please register by calling 302-945-3489.  You can also visit www.eastcoastgardencenter.com.

The cost is $25, which will include one 18″ wreath, three leaves of your choice, three pine cones, three acorns, three clusters of dried foliage/flowers and a 1 1/2″ sprig of bittersweet.

Thursday, 12/5 – Holiday Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre at East Coast Garden Center in Millsboro.  5:30 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.  Cocktails will begin at 5:30 p.m. and dinner will be served at 6:00 p.m.  The Murder Mystery will start at 7:00 p.m.

$40/person or $70/couple.  Please pre-register by calling 302-945-3489 or visit www.eastcoastgardencenter.com.
