ENJOY THE HOLIDAY SEASON

This is a wonderful time of the year, to paraphrase the song, with holiday music playing in the malls and on our car radi- os, resurrecting our earliest childhood memories -- even for the younger set -- of Christmases-past. We choose just the right tree, decorate it carefully with our family-heirloom ornaments, and when we first turn on the lights, it brings a smile even to the oldest among us. Despite the hectic rushing to and fro’, everybody it seems, is in a good mood. We endure the traffic, the long lines in stores, and more, because we know that what we are doing will bring joy and happiness to others. For those of us with young children, we get to see Christmas through their eyes, giving us a second-chance to experience the wonder and joy that we felt when we were their age. Although all of us celebrate Christmas in our own way, the common thread is one of peace, joy, and happiness, regardless of religious or secular beliefs. Whether it be Christmas, Hanuk- kah, Kwanzaa, or a Seinfeldian Festivus, the spirit of the season imbues us with a sense of togetherness that (unfortunately) only comes once a year. We urge all of our readers to make the most of this holiday season with our friends, family, and loved ones.

Black Cyan Magenta Yellow Page 16 THE EAST BOSTON TIMES-FREE PRESS Wednesday, December 5, 2018 EAST BOSTON CENTRAL CATHOLIC CHRISTMAS FAIR ANNUAL CHRISTMAS FAIR hree self-proclaimed “stuffed animal ninjas,” one with a backpack filled with Beanie Baby prizes, played cornhole Ttoss, throwing bean bags in one hand, and balancing sugar cookies smothered in green frosting and sprinkles in the other. At East Boston Central Catholic School’s (EBCCS) 27th Annual Christmas Fair on Dec. 1, parishioners shopped for holiday gifts and decorations, took chances on raffles, ate homemade Italian food, and took pictures with Santa. “I’m playing with my truck that I won from the Toy Punch Game,” said 7-year-old Gianni Vigliotta, second-grade. “I’m going to get an American flag painted on my face. I’m going to ask Santa for a doctor set. I love getting presents.” PHOTOS BY MARIANNE SALZA
