CEDAR MOUNTAIN CANTEEN CHRISTMAS EVE POTLUCK by Kim Coram

Join the Cedar Mountain Canteen for a Christmas Eve community potluck from 3 – 8 pm on December 24. Please bring a dish to share and your own non-disposable place setting. If you cannot bring food, for any reason, we are happy to feed you. We look forward to sharing a meal together this Christmas Eve.

CEDAR MOUNTAIN CAFE

After being closed for repairs since Hurricane Helene we have reopened with the same great staff, same great menu with a few upgraded improvements. We would love to see you.  Please note that we are unable to have our Coke machine installed until later in the month. We will have cans of Coke and Diet Coke in the meantime. We will still be serving our famous iced tea and delicious coffee from Brown Bean. 

CEDAR MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY CENTER

We are working hard to rebuild the center after Hurricane Helene. If everything goes according to plan, we hope to open by the end of March 2025. The center was built in the 1950s, and we needed to make many upgrades to bring the building up to code. These improvements will include ADA compliance and a new well.

AROUND THE HOUSE by Linda Packer Young

Fire in the fireplace, Snow on the ground

Cider on the stove, Ice on the pond

Candles aglow. Pine in the air

Wreath on the door, Decorations everywhere

Stockings on the hearth, Packages under the tree

Star on the top. Gifts for you and me

Cat's in the chair, Bird’s on the feeder

I'm in my recliner, Nothing could be neater

May your Christmas and New Year the best yet.
