SUMMARY:Ham Gillett presents Dylan Thomas’s Lyrical Portrait of Holidays Past
DESCRIPTION:Send the kids outside to romp\, take off your apron\, stash the light-hanging ladder\, and join us on Saturday\, December 12\, from 12:00-12:30 OR 1:00-1:30 for Ham Gillett’s traditional Wassail reading. \nThe Welsh poet Dylan Thomas looks back with a child’s-eye view of a magical time of presents\, family\, and newly fallen snow in the seasonal classic A Child’s Christmas in Wales\, written in the early 1950s. \nHam Gillett has shared this story during Wassail Weekend for more years than he can remember. He offers us a time to be still\, to close our eyes\, and be transported by Thomas’s matchless weaving of lyrical words and evocative images. \nThe Uncles (from A Child’s Christmas in Wales) Illustration by Fritz Eichenberg \n“Our snow … came shawling out of the ground and swam and drifted out of the arms and hands and bodies of the trees; snow grew overnight on the roofs of the houses like a pure and grandfather moss\, minutely-ivied the walls and settled on the postman\, opening the gate\, like a dumb\, numb thunder-storm of white\, torn Christmas cards.” – Dylan Thomas \n+++ \nThis reading is free and open to the public and – despite the essay’s title – is geared toward listeners 10 and older. First-come\, first-seated; space is limited.

SUMMARY:Wrensong | Songs of the Season
DESCRIPTION:A Wassail tradition returns with a sampler of holiday songs performed by Wrensong on the Mezzanine following the Horse & Carriage Parade around the Green. \nWrensong is an a cappella choral group from Vermont’s Upper Valley that focuses on vocal treasures of the Renaissance. Their repertoire ranges from the secular to the religious\, and concerts often include narration to give audiences a context for listening with understanding. For the holiday program\, singers present a mix of songs – some simple\, some familiar\, some more complex\, and some sing-along. \nFree and open to the public. Seating is limited; first-come\, first-seated.
