Cock’n Bull Restaurant
Routes 202 & 263, Lahaska, PA

BAH! HUMBUG! Come for dinner and a show this Friday or Saturday at the Cock’n Bull Restaurant. Here’s the story: Ebenezer Scrooge is known for his miserly and selfish ways, but he’s a changed man! He’s been practically giving his money away! Scrooge’s nephew, Fred Sawyer, is throwing a Christmas party and everyone is delighted for his appearance. But what’s this? Sherlock Holmes?! What could he possibly want at a Christmas party? You soon find out that he’s investigating dear Scrooge’s murder. There’s more, but you’ll have to see for yourself. Call 215.794.4051 for reservations.

Sat, Dec 16, 9 – 11:30 am
Yardley Friends Meeting
65 North Main St., Yardley, Pennsylvania

One of the amazing things about living in Bucks County is that because of greenhouses and hoop houses, we are quickly becoming a four season farming economy. So if you think it’s not “season”, think again.

The Yardley Farmers Market will be holding their twice monthly indoor market all winter, on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays (the Wrightstown Indoor Farmers Market is the 2nd and 4th Saturdays, so you’re covered through April). You’ll find greens, radishes, lots of root veggies like sweet potatoes, baked goods, artisanal cheese, locally roasted coffee, prepared foods and even wine!

Sat, Dec 16, 12 – 2 pm
Wycombe Publick House
1073 Mill Creek Rd., Wycombe, PA

Sat, Dec 16, 6:30 – 9:30 pm
Fonthill Castle
525 E. Court St., Doylestown, PA

There’s something about holiday lights. It’s so festive, so pretty. You can enjoy the lights this Saturday as you meander Fonthill Castle’s candlelit tour route to see the decorated rooms. While you are there, snack on holiday-themed refreshments. Reservations are required for the tour, call 215.348.9461.

If you’re going to a firehouse breakfast, these two are the best in Bucks County. The North House crew cooks up breakfast once a month all year-long, and the Perkasie Fire Co does it 10 months a year. So take this opportunity to enjoy their great breakfast and hang with Santa.

Sat, Dec 16 and Sun, Dec 17
Villa Milagro Vineyards

This weekend Villa Milagro will celebrate Las Posadas, the journey of Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem.  When you visit we will serve you bocadillos — small “bites”of Mexican tidbits representing foods offered as nourishment for the holy couple. You will also taste FELIZ NAVIDAD, their delicious, sweet and spicy mulled wine, slightly warmed to knock the chill off your own journeys!  And when you purchase two bottles or more of Feliz Navidad you will get a chance to win a 7” Piñata!
