The Splendid Feast

As guests arrive, luminaries and hundreds of tiny bulbs light the driveway and entrance to the historical mansion. A grand tree greets the guests, and a fire roars in the parlor where favorite holiday songs dance in the air. In the ballroom, wine, wassail and cider flow freely. As the evening progresses, a local chef and a small army of festive volunteers prepare and present a splendid feast of wholesome delicacies. As the evening draws to a close, dessert and coffee are served.
