Thursday, December 8th (Part 2) at 6:30 pm. Most people assume that mistletoe, mince pies, plum pudding, yule logs, the holly and the ivy, the family gatherings, caroling and wassail, parties and games, all the trappings of Christmas were first brought to us by Charles Dickens. No, Washington Irving was there first, in 1820, with “The Sketch Book” The section known as “Old Christmas” was the first time many American and British readers learned about old English Christmas customs.

Thursday, December 15th on Zoom or in person, in the Village Center. Considering the turbulence of these times, it might be a good idea for everyone to have a better understanding of the philosophical underpinnings of our society. College of the Holy Cross Professor Lawrence Cahoone’s course of 36 lectures should help. It begins with “Origins and Conflicts of Modern Politics” and ends with the, hopefully self-evident by that time, “Why Political Philosophy Matters.”  Every two weeks we will watch two lectures followed by a discussion. You can watch them at the Library or download them from Libby, Hoopla or Kanopy. The discussions will start at 11:15 after the showing and will be in person or on Zoom simultaneously. Registration is not required unless you are going to participate via Zoom or want a reminder of upcoming lectures. A lecture schedule, suggested readings and possible questions for discussion are available on our Great Courses page. You will also get a sneak preview of our new web page design.

Thursday, December 15th at 6:30 pm. Librarian Frank Connelly reads the timeless classic by Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol, in what has become an annual tradition at the Larchmont Public Library. No holiday season can be complete without seeing this performance. During this presentation “Smoking Bishop” will be served. Smoking Bishop is mentioned in the story and it is a variety of mulled wine, made with oranges, lemons, cloves, red wine and is served warm, hence the “smoking” in its name. Frank can and will tell you far, far more about it, should you be so rash as to ask him.You can choose to attend this program on Zoom or you can come to the Michael P. Coords Activity Room to watch Frank live and in person.

Thursday, December 22nd at 6:30 pm in the Village Center. The Good House follows Hildy Good (Sigourney Weaver), a wry New England realtor and descendant of the Salem witches, who loves her wine and her secrets. Her compartmentalized life begins to unravel as she rekindles a romance with her old high-school flame, Frank Getchell (Kevin Kline), and becomes dangerously entwined in one person’s reckless behavior. Igniting long-buried emotions and family secrets, Hildy is propelled toward a reckoning with the one person she’s been avoiding for decades: herself. Rated R.
