My community’s club house erected a Christmas Tree to place gifts and gift cards under. These go to the Cohen Children’s Medical Center and St Mary’s Health Care for Children. When I went in to drop off my gifts, I was pleasantly surprised to see so many toys under the tree. It’s a good feeling to know there are so many caring people. As for the food banks. My church operates a Parish Center where people in need can go to pick up food. It’s run by volunteers who give freely of their time. I’m happy to be actively involved in it. We have plenty of food on the shelves but could always use more. Every Wednesday one elderly donor brings in cases of cereal. We’ve nicknamed him the “cereal-man”. Volunteering at a food pantry is so rewarding.

The “Christmas Spectacular” begins with 15 minutes of 2 organists playing holiday music on the Wurlitzer theatre organ. This is followed by the on-stage Radio City orchestra! As always, a great way to get into the holiday mood. And, you’ll be given 3D glasses to watch a special scene!

Thanks @foxyfor starting this thread… The 90 minute show was pure entertainment. A few new acts were added. The live nativity scene is always special along with a few camels and a donkey. A great way to kick off the holiday season.

I agree with the reports by @skynycand @foxy. Yes, full house at Wednesday’s matinee. “Some Like it Hot” will attract the older audience. So, expect the Wednesday matinees to be full house. The very talented cast works their butts off in this production. I was exhausted watching some of those dance/singing numbers. The police chase number is very funny and involved the entire cast. The play is still in previews. I’ll be interested in reading what the critics think.

Update: I’ve now been to Healthy Spa 68. Each time I went I had a new masseur. Last week I had Tom, he’s no longer there and today I had Will, a young slim Asian who just started yesterday. He gave a very thorough massage not a lame body rub. I enjoyed the touch of his hands and hope to see him again. I like the Spa’s location. It’s across the street from the Manhasset train station and above the dry cleaners. Massage Is $60 for an hour. Since they only have 1 masseur, it’s best to call in advance to see if he’s working.

Some have asked me about former moderator @Daverwr. I was in contact with him. He wrote about a crippling condition he had and using his hands was almost impossible. I’ve sent recent emails but haven’t heard back.

The old Bliss Foot Spa in Manhasset has re-opened under a new name, Healthy 68 Spa. I called to ask if they had any masseurs as their ad only mentions women. I was told they had one but he doesn’t work on Saturdays. Has anyone tried this Spa? https://www.google.com/search?q=healthy+68+spa&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#trex=m_t:lcl_akp,rc_ludocids:10420760128385314921,rc_q:healthy%2068%20spa,ru_gwp:0%2C7,ru_q:healthy%2068%20spa,trex_id:JbfITd&lpg=cid:CgIgAQ%3D%3D healthy 68 spa 278 Plandome Rd #2fl, Manhasset, NY 11030 (646) 926-6789 The old Bliss Spa had a couple of masseurs who used to advertise on Grindr. One young Asian was very good and moved to Prime after Bliss closed.

On Long Island when you get your 1st shot they give you an appointment for your 2nd. Is that not the same in NYC?
