Rivertown Christmas

This past week I have spent my volunteer duties helping to decorate Pocosin Arts for Christmas. Maia and I did a pretty swell job. This was the first time Maia had ever decorated for Christmas as she is Jewish so we decorated during the day and on Wednesday night we celebrated the first night of Chanukah with sweet potato latkes. Also, during this weekend starting yesterday the town of Columbia has all sorts of fun and festive activities to participate in. Last night was La Posada where the Hispanic community goes from door to door (at the local businesses) to ask for room at the inn and of course they have to be turned away until we get to the high school. Then everyone is welcome to eat a feast of Mexican food and oreos and spaghetti. Today Santa comes to town..by boat!! There will be a parade of lighted boats on the Scuppernong river.
