Both this Friday and next Friday there is a Cornish Christmas celebration in Grass Valley, California. There are two highlights that my son and I enjoyed last year:
1. The live young and older musicians in period costumes playing fiddle, guitar, etc. It inspired my son to practice his violin!
2. The man really roasting chestnuts in a huge bonfire in the middle of the street in front of the Holbrooke Hotel! It really gave meaning to the classic song!
3. All the merriment of a holiday festival with food, song, crafts, music, etc. This one really helps one imagine life in another era, where men and women worked hard, had little, but cherished the simple pleasures of hearty food, good song, and a warm fire with family and friends!

Tis The Season for Science, Academy of Science, San Francisco,CA- annual holiday exhibit
Two 6 year old reindeer, Willow and Yukon, have arrived at the California Academy of Sciences! They are called "nomads of the north." The Tis the Season for Science Annual Holiday Exhibit will be going on now through January 4th, 2015. There will also be a movie about reindeer in the snowman shaped theater, "Roaming With Reindeer." The exhibit will also feature snow flurries, caroling, and other shows.
The Little Naturalists Program is offered for children age 3-5 most Wednesdays at 9:45AM. Registration for this needs to be called ahead of time. My son really enjoyed this program when he was younger.
The next Penguins and Pajamas Sleepover will be held on Saturday, January 17th, 2015 from 6:00PM. It is for children and teenagers age 5 to 17, and adult supervision is necessary. The cost for the overnight program is $109.00 for non-members and $89.00 for members. I haven't done the overnight yet, but it sounds fun!
