16 // COASTWEEKEND.COM Celebrate the holidays with the Clatsop County Historical Society Holiday Tea and Plum Pudding, Old-Fashioned Christmas planned ASTORIA — The Clatsop County Historical Society invites the public to enjoy festive holiday activities this December. Enjoy a relaxing after- noon with a cup of tea and traditional holiday plum pudding in the decorat- ed historic Flavel House Museum. Holiday Tea and Plum Pudding will be held daily from 1 to 4 p.m., Dec. 17 to 23 and Dec. 26 to 30. Plum pudding is a tra- ditional Victorian holiday treat. According to Vic- torian author Satenig St. Marie, “Plum pudding was believed to have magi- cal powers including the ability to make peace. A husband and wife who had had a misunderstanding would be reconciled by the moral influence of the pudding while stirring it.” Cost per person is $12 and includes fresh, warm plum pudding, a cup of tea and self-guided tour of the Flavel House Museum. Reservations are recom- mended for groups of eight or more. The historical society will also host its Old-Fash- ioned Christmas. Old St. Nick will be at- tending the Old-Fashioned Christmas celebration in the Flavel House Museum from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, Dec. 19. Visitors will have an opportunity to see the decorated Flavel House Museum and be treated to holiday music, crafts, games and stories for the kids. Everyone will enjoy the cookies and hot choc- olate. Mom and Dad, don’t forget your camera as you will want to capture that photo of your little one on Santa’s lap in front of the beautiful fireplace in the Flavel House library. This event is made possible by the support of Easom Property Manage- ment and the Windermere Pacific Land Company.
