Ocean Point Column Dec.15

Although the calendar officially shows one more week before the arrival of winter we had our first taste of it on Monday with a mix of rain and snow and the promise of the coldest temperatures of the season later in the week.

Christmas is just around the corner and yet it seems as though we just celebrated Thanksgiving. I know many Ocean Point family and friends gathered for the holiday feast.  Chris and Coco Webber celebrated at the Point with all of their family and several Ocean Point friends. Jean and John Webster celebrated with their family in St Louis.  Their daughter Kim and her husband Michael hosted and were joined by their daughters Ava and Grace. Jean and John’s son Stephen, his wife Theresa and their children Nicole and Ethan also made the trip as did Jean’s sister Roni. Michael and Kim are hosting a student from France this school year and Jean reports that he enjoyed the Thanksgiving holiday with all of the Webster family.

Our condolences to Prudence Dawson and John Hatlem on the recent passing of Prudence’s sister, Priscilla Kingston on November 25 in Charlottesville, Virginia after a brief illness.

I’ve heard from several Ocean Pointers that the Festival of Lights celebration has been hugely successful so far and so I would encourage you to take some time from your busy routine to come and see for yourself, it’s well worth the visit. Activities, shopping and dining will continue until January 1.

Have a great week!
