Kids Sing-Along and Karaoke: Winter and Christmas
Come and join us for an afternoon filled with fun and singing! Let’s sing along to winter and Christmas songs from the list below. After finishing one song, we’ll vote on which one to sing next. Want to shine in the spotlight? We will also be taking requests to sing solo through the chat during the program. No singing experience necessary!
Winter Wind-down: A Hygge Hang-out
It’s been another long year, and you deserve some quiet time. We've created a homey haven from the winter blues: our hygge hang-out. The Danish concept of hygge (pronounced HYOO-guh) roughly means happiness through all things cozy and comfy. It is also the conviviality that comes from shared activities with friends and family. Come on by with friends, or make new friends, as you relax by our faux fireplace, play a game, work on a puzzle, try a winter craft (as supplies last), and more. Feel free to bring your own knitting or crafting project!
