Green Man opens at 7:09 p.m. Fifty-one years ago debuted one of the most beloved holiday traditions of this or any generation. Up there with tree decorating, carol singing, and cold-weather revelry, A Charlie Brown Christmas squarely places us in the mood for celebration, nostalgia, and generosity. Thrill once again to the music, characters, and message of this seasonal classic. Please bring anything Linus, Lucy, or Snoopy would enjoy.

Mark your calendar: The umpteenth annual Winter Solstice comes our way Wednesday, 12-21, at Celeste’s South Austin hearth. Details soon . . .

Secret Passage: For revelers wishing to avoid crowded roads on a Friday evening, here’s an alternate route: From downtown, travel north on the I-35 frontage road, east on Manor, and then north on Berkman, which leads through the Mueller development and into Windsor Park. Map. Try it . . .
 

Looking forward to seeing you!
