“Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland…”

Cold north winds are blowing and Pacific Sage becomes a “Winter Wonderland” on Saturday - December 9th, 2023 from 9 AM until 1PM.

We want to invite friends and families (old and new) to join us for frosty fun, winter crafts and hot cocoa and treats!

Santa will be taking time out from his busy schedule to visit and listen to secret wishes from 10:00 - 12:00 PM.

“Friends are lights in the winter; the older the friend, the brighter the light.”

—-Roger Rosenblatt

Shadows are growing and temperatures are falling. Winter’s cold and darkness will soon be here. BUT…there is always safety and warmth in numbers, so please join with Pacific Sage families, old and new, for a lantern walk through our cold and dark canyon. Together we will sing and light our way to the love and magic of the coming holiday season. There will be more songs, stories and treats in the “big” hall.

Dress Warmly!

Children will be making their lanterns. Others should bring a small light.

“Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them.”

— George Eliot, English author.

 Though rituals existed during pre-Columbian times to honor and remember the dead, according to contemporary Mexican traditions, every year the doors of the “afterlife” open at midnight on October 31st. The souls of children arrive first to visit their families, and then on November 2nd, the souls of adult family and friends come to call. Beautiful ofrendas/altars are constructed in homes, cemeteries, and public spaces to welcome them.

Please join us for an afternoon of crafts (paper flowers, butterflies, and photo frames), music, and “antijitos” on the PUC patio, and help create our ofrenda for El Dia de Los Muertos. (Bring precious and fragile pictures of your beloved dead; we can copy and print them as 4x6 photos for frames.)

As the Monarch Butterflies migrate back to Mexico at this time, it is believed that they are, or carry the souls of the dead back to their families. Our theme for the ofrenda will acknowledge this relationship.
