Holiday Holid day To Toy oy Drive Drivve
Each year the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program collects new, unwrapped toys to distribute to needy children in the community. The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver a message of hope to underprivileged youngsters through a shiny new toy at Christmas. The program hopes to motivate children to grow into responsible, productive citizens and community leaders. Collection drop-off barrels are located at various locations in your town. Volunteers are needed throughout December - a great way to get in the holiday spirit while giving back to your community.

Will you still need me, will you still feed me, when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 64? The answer is yes if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fairyland. The 10-acre park geared towards children ages 2 to 7 has been an Oakland landmark since 1950. Fairyland, which was designed by nursery owner Arthur Navlet, has featured storybook sets, farm animals and live entertainment since it opened. It also provided inspiration for Walt W Disney, who opened the Magic g Kingdom g in 1955 uusing many of the same sto oryboo themes that he saw storybook in Oakland Oakl when touring the par rk. Today To park. the park includes a handf of gentle rides along handful side Alice in Wonderlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tunne Rapunzelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Castle, The Tunnel, Croooked Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s House, the Old Crooked Womaanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shoe Sh and more. Fairyland Womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a of your favorite childhood is where all stories com come me to life. li Alth Althoughh itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a fun f spott to t visit i it throughout th the year, in December, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magical. To celebrate the season, Fairyland is transformed into a Fairy Winter Wonderland decked out with special decorations, thousands of twinkling lights, free holiday treats, cider, hott cocoa, and lots of fun surprises. Santa takes timee out of his busy schedule to visit Fairy Winterland ndd from 5 to 6pm so that children can deliver their holiday wish lists and have photos taken withh the â&#x20AC;&#x153;man with the bag.â&#x20AC;?

By Janet Fazio

High tea and seasonal gifts are on the menu at The English Rose in Pleasanton. The Queen’s Sumptuous Tea is just that. Start with a cookie to whet your appetite, then enjoy three tiers of tea sandwiches, savories, a warm scone with clotted cream, lemon curd and preserves, sweets and fresh fruit followed by dessert. While sandwiches are good— egg salad, cucumber and chicken salad were on the menu —the savories, including a mini quiche and a sweet potato tart, were outstanding. Everything is made fresh on site. Dozens of loose leaf teas are available. Christmas teas are served in December featuring all sorts of Christmas goodies. Open Tuesday through Saturday from 11am to 5pm. Tea times are 11am, 1pm and 3pm. TheEnglishRose-Pleasanton. com or 925.462.6233.

The European bake shop features sweet and savories baked daily with organic flours and locally grown fruit. Light teas with freshly baked, buttery mini scones served with sweet cream, home made preserves and a plate of fresh seasonal fruit are available at any time during the day. Or, go all out and enjoy high tea with sandwiches, puff pastries with savory fillings, mini scones, and an assortment of desserts. Choose from a dozen tea choices.

CAMELLIA TEA ROOM
BOMBAY NICKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CHAI BAR
At the Camellia Tea Room in Benicia, they take the holidays seriously. Shortly after their Halloween Bewitching Tea, they started decking their halls to get you in the holiday spirit. Camelliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional tea includes an assortment of finger sandwiches, scones with strawberry jam and Devon cream, mini decadent desserts and a pot of loose leaf tea, with dozens of teas to choose from. In addition to traditional tea, Camelliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also offers savory tea, cream tea and sweet tea, as well as salads (the chicken artichoke with chicken breast, artichoke hearts and celery in a dijon-mayonnaise nnaise dressing is a winner), sandwiches wiches and a stuffed potato. Open Tuesday throughh Sunday 11am to 4pm. Reservations recommended. CamelliaTeaRoom.com orr 707.746.5293.
Although Bombay Nickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Livermore doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer the traditional tea service (they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t serve food at all), they have an amazing selection of tea perfect to enjoy at home. Each of Nickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gourmet artisanal teas are made in small batches following recipes that have been handed down through generations using high quality, unprocessed ingredients. Nickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also features infrared roasted gourmet coffees, which are high in anti-oxidants and low in acid and bitterness. It is hands down the best coffee Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had. Open Monday through Friday, 8am to 4pm and Saturday 9am to 3pm. S BombayNicksChaiBar. B com coo or 925.493.7044.

Mount Diablo Beacon Restoration Fund presents
$25 Gift Card for Pinkyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pizza in Walnut Creek
Since 1964, the lighting of the summit beacon atop Mount Diablo has been memorialized in honor of Pearl Harbor Day. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eye of Diabloâ&#x20AC;? as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known, was extinguished in 1941 just after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The beacon is lit at sunset and shines all night on this single evening each year. The event begins at sunset and the public is invited to attend.
Admission is Free

Wrap it Up for the Holidays!
Customers say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It Gets Rid of Toenail Fungus!â&#x20AC;?
Now is the time to make sure your skin and your feet look their best. Infinite Aloe is the perfect solution to dry skin everywhere, on your face and body and unsightly toenail fungus! â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have seen Infinite Aloe cure toenail fungus time and time again on myself and customers who purchase Infinite Aloe,â&#x20AC;? says Judy Mena, Infinte Aloe distributor. Use Infinite Aloe with FungiCure, an over the counter medication. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alone, I have seen FungiCure have little success, but teamed with Infinite Aloe twice per day, customers see the fungus completely disappear,â&#x20AC;? says Mena. This is great news when you consider the very expensive alternatives of laser and oral prescriptions. Get started today and see how beautiful your feet can be this summer!

The timeless enchantment of Rodgers & Hammersteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cinderella is not one to be missed. Presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammersteinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cinderella was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium. Its recreation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less successful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-cometrue. As adapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity, the hearts of children and adults alike still soar when the slipper fits.
Bundle up the kids, pick up the neighbors and head to Broadway Plaza to join in the festivities during the annual Community Tree Lighting Ceremony. Complimentary valet parking will be offered in lieu of the Holiday Parade of Lights this year due to the construction at Broadway Plaza. Stores will be decked out in their holiday best during this special event featuring a tree lighting led by none other than Santa Claus himself. Make the evening complete with dinner at one of Walnut Creekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many fine restaurants.
