It began to look a lot like Christmas

With projects,tests and other stressful activities, it’s really hard to get in the Christmas spirit and to not feel like a total Grinch who hates the world. It’s even harder to feel the Christmas spirit when there are only three dollars to your name while all the new shiny gadgets like IPads are being advertised. But Christmas in Kensington allows you to enjoy all the jolly activities for free! It’s the perfect thing to do since thankfully, winter break is so close.

For example, there are free movies at the Plaza theatre. On the 17th, they showed ‘‘The Holiday’ . And on the 24th, they will be showing the classic “Home Alone”, the perfect movie for re-living all the great childhood memories from Christmas and forgetting the stress of not being a child anymore.  Also on the 24th, there will be a horse and wagon ride; it’s the perfect activity for a romantic date or if you’re single, a platonic activity for you and your friend. There will also be carols and since the best way to spread Christmas  cheer is singing loud for all to hear, there’s a good chance you’ll feel more christmas-y than Santa himself.

All this is mind for a perfect day, Christmas in Kensington also showcases charities. By going to Christmas in Kensington, you get to learn about all the local and global issues that need to be solved.  On the 17th  the Buckspring Foundation raised money to help people who are marginalized and in need of financial aid also, widows and orphans.  Even giving some change can go a long way in helping the less fortunate.
