Santa Claus dropped by unexpectedly at a home on South Irving Street on Thursday afternoon where 1-year old Declan and his 5-year old sister Delia were having a Thanksgiving meal with their grandparents.

Declan was a slightly unnerved by the surprise visit and kept his distance, but Delia sat right down near Santa, and had a nice 15 minute conversation with the fat man from the North Pole.

Santa did not arrive empty handed; Declan was the recipient of a toy vacuum cleaner, and Delia found a Play Doh kit when she unwrapped her present.

Mr. Claus arrived in a bright red SUV, which he told Delia he uses on every day of the year except  Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and was gone in a flash 15 minutes after his arrival.

As he waved goodbye to Declan and Delia, Santa did reveal that retired Ridgewood Police Department Captain and former Ridgewood Mayor Keith D. Killion was the person who wrote the North Pole and requested Santa make an early visit to South Irving Street.

Thank you Keith!

Pro Arte Invites You to Our Messiah Sing In

Pro Arte Invites You to Our Messiah Sing In
Sunday December 14

Come join the Pro Arte Chorale for a joyous sing-along of Handel’s Christmas masterpiece, conducted by Maestro Steven Fox. The Chorale will gather for this event on Sunday December 14 at 3:00pm at the Central Unitarian
Church located at 156 Forest Avenue, Paramus, NJ. Bring your own scores or we will lend you one of ours. Admission is $10 at the door, including rental score.

Handel created such compelling melodic and fluid music that it’s easy to overlook what is one of history’s great examples of “word painting.” The baroque era in music — roughly 1600 to 1750 — saw enormous interest in this technique of depicting a word’s meaning through music. A basic example is using dissonance to set the word “pain.”Even those who have sung “Messiah” aren’t always made fully aware of Handel’s continual crafting of music to express the words

Steven Fox, the Music Director of The Pro Arte Chorale, is also the artistic director of Clarion Music Society in New York, and the music director for Musica Antiqua St. Petersburg in Russia. The Pro Arte Chorale, a 60-member
volunteer chorus based in Ridgewood, is committed to enriching the lives of its members and its audience by exploring many musical traditions. All performances are held in ADA compliant venues with handicapped accessible
parking, ramps and restrooms. For more information about Pro Arte Chorale or to join the mailing list, visit www.proartechorale.org or send an email to [email protected] Pro Arte Chorale is sponsored in part by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment of the Arts.
