Christmas Tree Lighting and Carol Sing at Christ Church, Easton
We gather outside to light the huge Christmas tree and sing carols. Normally we have a bonfire but this year with the fire warnings, that will probably be off the program. We have hot chocolate and a bake sale to benefit Cheyenne River Reservation to buy Christmas presents for the children.

Ahavah: The Story of Christmas
“Ahavah,” which means love in Hebrew, is a ballet that tells a story of hope in the midst of despair. An imaginative retelling of the story of Jesus’ birth, this production has been running for 19 years, and is now becoming a local Christmas tradition in Middletown, CT. Ahavah explores the mystery of Christmas, demonstrating how love can shine brightly even in the darkest of times. This is a magical show for the whole family that will surely lift your spirit!
