7pm | Twas Night Before Christmas read by Linda Fitak, actress and voice-over professional

Clement Clarke Moore wrote the famous poem “Night Before Christmas” in 1822 when living in his house in Elmhurst, Queens, New York City. Here’s a photo of the house before it was demolished in 1932. Our
High Priestess, Ealswythe (Linda) grew up in Elmhurst and frequently played at the Clement C. Moore Park as a child. It was only about 3 blocks from where she lived. Every year, her elementary school class would go to the park and sing Christmas carols and recite the poem “Night Before Christmas.” She will read the poem for us at the Yule holiday party and lead the Yuletide (Winter Solstice) ritual.
The Moore Homestead in Elmhurst. The homestead was torn down in 1932 and is today Clement Clarke Moore Park bordered by Broadway, 78th Street, and 45th Avenue in Elmhurst.

8pm Winter Solstice Ritual led by our High Priestess Elysweith with Terry and Craig assisting.
