We are inspired by the annual reminder to experience the gift of giving – and receiving, too – and we’re promoting opportunities to do both this season.

Celebrate by joining in, with generous service, open receipt of love and care, and joyful participation in events. Look for ways to share your gifts and to lift up others by receiving theirs. There are so many options:

• Be part of a sparkling, special day on and around the Lyme Common! Enjoy a walk among the lights and bid on your favorite tree to take home or donate at the Utility Club of Lyme Tree Festival. Visit the Utility Club Cookie Sale and the Night of the Nativities at the Lyme Congregational Church. (Share your own creche with dozens of others to make the display even more special.) Sing carols and enjoy holiday treats and festive beverages at the Lyme Historians Wassail Party.
• Learn comforting tips about Managing Emotions During Times of Stress in a conversation guided by CCL Mental Health Team lead, Laurie Veillette, PsyD. Join us in the CCL Living Room. To register call 603-795-0603 or email mentalhealth@cclyme.org.
• Spread the joy of reading with a stop at the Friends of Lyme Library Used Book Sale and explore and purchase gifts of art at Matt Brown Fine Art Gallery holiday show, including a wide range of artists and art.
• Join us to be Warm in Winter during the Our Hour Friendly Gathering in the CCL Living Room – to spend easy time and enjoy treats together during a sometimes challenging season.
• Enjoy the Lyme Christmas Pageant and other community gatherings in town.
• Join us for Jingle & Mingle, CCL’s holiday Open House, back in the Lyme Center Academy Building!
• Stop by the CCL office and living room to ask a question or for some warm conversation, during open hours (Monday – Thursday, 9-11am) or make an appointment.
• Support your favorite charity or non-profit, beginning on #GivingTuesday … or now! (hint: CCL is a great choice! Your donation supports operations and ongoing programming, or you can specify gifts for the Welcome Fund or Jenks Fund.)
