Afterwards they went to Lake Forest Park for lunch and help in wrapping all the presents.

The show is the same and includes a fan favorite "I Want A Hippopotamus for Christmas".
We are a band that plays mostly original material, and the covers we play are NOT done in the style of the original recording.
(We believe that if people want to hear the original recording they can play it at home. We like to think we're giving people a reason to leave their homes.
The music is very dance-able, with an emphasis on fun.
No one leave our shows wondering how many years of therapy it took to exorcise our demons. The songs are fun, mostly up-tempo, with great vocals!
The lineup includes:
- Dexter Carlson aka "Pinball Jones" : Guitar and lead vocals, and principle songwriter
- Ray Krome aka "Woody The Hoarder" : Bass and vocals
- Jeff Carolus aka "Lefty:" : Lead Guitar and vocals
- Keith Lyons aka "Tickles" : Drums, COWBELL and vocals
There will be an UGLY SWEATER CONTEST, with prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

Taproot Theater at City Calvary chapel on Saturday - free admission
Saturday, December 14, 2019
City Calvary Chapel is hosting Taproot Theater's production of a one act play called "SHOEMAKER'S CHRISTMAS" this Saturday, December 14, 2019 at 7:00pm.
Once upon a time, there was a gifted shoemaker and his wife. Hard times hit their village and the generous shoemaker gave away his last pair of shoes to someone in need. Left with just a few scraps of leather, the couple goes to bed uncertain of their future.
Overnight, as if by magic, their luck turns when a mysterious pair of shoes appears on their counter. But if the shoemaker didn’t make the shoes, who did?
Adapted from Grimm’s fairytales, Shoemaker’s Christmas is a humbly comedic reminder that spreading kindness and generosity is worth more than gold.
FREE admission and all are welcome.
The chapel is located at 15211 15th Ave NE, Shoreline.

Annual tree lighting and visit from Santa in Richmond Beach Saturday

| Christmas Foodies |
Sherry Edwards, Chris Beck, and Teresa Pape were responsible for getting the treats and getting them set up for the crowd.
| Tom Petersen set up the sound system. |
Tom Petersen got the sound system set up and tested before people began to arrive.
Santa arrived right on time in a fire truck with lights flashing and the horn blaring out a greeting to all. He jumped down from the truck, quick as a wink, and spread his arms wide with a twinkle in his eyes.
The kids and parents were super excited to be face to face with Santa.
Santa took his chair in the place of honor to hear the youngsters' gift requests. One of the first was Max Murray, Syre Elementary School, with a short list.
Next up for Santa was Max's sister, Grace Murray, who attends Saint Luke School.
There were many local young families in line to meet with Santa Claus, some for the very first time.

It really isn't Christmas without a dragon, is it?
This guy is in the yard on the northeast corner of NE 155th and 5th NE.
He's particularly delightful at night. He lights up, his belly glows with red fire, and his majestic wings slowly flap back and forth.
His predecessor, the Halloween dragon, was kidnapped, so help keep an eye on this one to make sure he stays put for everyone to enjoy.

Santa came in with his usual style in a beautifully bedecked and lighted reindeer topped sleigh to a gathering place under the Les Schwab covered area on 15th NE in the North City business district.
Musicians played, elves assisted, the crowd sang, and small children confided their Christmas wishes.

Also on Saturday, December 7 at 4:45pm, RBCA will light up the night when Santa counts us down to the lighting of the community tree at the annual TREE LIGHTING CEREMONY at the Fire Safety Center located at the intersection of Richmond Beach Road and 20th Avenue NW (next to Streetzeria). Parking is limited to neighborhood streets, so please walk or carpool if possible. Enjoy refreshments and seasonal music while waiting for Santa to arrive on his fire engine.
