LIGHT UP LAKEWOOD MOVIE
Miracle on 34th Street (1947) Directed by George Seaton All Ages
Of course Santa Claus is real! And this classic film really is as funny and charming as you remember… When Kris Kringle is called to fill in as a department store Santa, he can’t help getting involved with the two saddest people in the world: divorced businesswoman Maureen O’Hara and serious-minded Natalie Wood—a little girl with no use for her imagination. They’re a tough pair; even Kris loses his faith for a second. But in the end, the spirit of the season will triumph, Macy’s will make peace with Gimbels and Santa Claus will receive his mail. “It’s silly, but I believe!”
3:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Sunday, December 6
SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS: The Best of Sinatra
Musicologist Frank Casey has selected twenty-five outstanding vocal performances out of the thirteen-hundred recordings that comprise Frank Sinatra’s career to make the case that “Ol’ Blue Eyes” was the best. We weren’t arguing, but it sounds like a fun afternoon, anyway.
2:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium
