CdM This Weekend: Five Great Things For Your To-Do List
1. Hey, Santa! Today, and on Saturdays and Sundays through Dec. 20, head to Roger’s Gardens and meet the big guy in person. From noon to 6 p.m., Santa will be at on hand to talk with kids and pose for photos in Roger’s gazebo. After, check out the Christmas train, the gardens and maybe pick up a few ornaments and gifts. Roger’s Gardens is located at 2301 San Joaquin Hills Road. Call (949)
640-5800 for more information.
2. Next, head to Corona del Mar Plaza for a little shopping (who doesn’t want a Sprinkles cupcake?) and live holiday jazz music from noon to 2 p.m. every Saturday through Dec. 19.
3. Five Crowns kicks off the holiday season with its annual Dickens Dinners set for 6:30 p.m. tonight and Sunday. Veteran actors will perform scenes based on “A Christmas Carol” complete with the Ghost of Christmas — perfect for a haunted restaurant, we think. The three-course dinner, served at family-style seating, cost $89 per adult, $69 per child under the age of 12, inclusive of tax and gratuity. The Five Crowns carolers, also will be performing. Five Crowns is located at 3801 East Coast Highway. Reservations are recommended; call (949) 760-0331.
4. The Central Library reopens after the Thanksgiving holiday on Saturday — why not take the kids to the Family Storytime scheduled for 10:30 a.m.? It’s the perfect antidote to rich food, holiday stress and shopping craziness. The library is located at 1000 Avocado Avenue; click here for more information.
5. If you can’t beat them, join them — head to Crown Ace Hardware for holiday lights. It’s the weekend to get started. And apparently in CdM, more is more!
