Grinch, Santa and More

1. Grinch Activities Coming to JP: Citi Performing Arts Center will bring some Grinch-themed fun to the Hennigan Community Center Dec. 13 at 4 p.m.. Listen to a reading of Dr. Seuss's classic "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" and take part in some interactive games.

2. Find Santa: Santa's a busy guy this time of year, but so are you. In order to help you find the right time and place to have the kids meet the jolly old man, we've pulled together a map of visiting hours all across the area. Find the time that's right for you!

3. Meet the candidates: JP Progressives will host a meet and greet with some of the democratic candidates for governor Wednesday at 6 p.m.. Speak with Juliette Kayyem, Don Berwick, and Joe Avellone about their positions on the issues you care about most.

4. Bull/Sell/Trade: Looking to sell some goods to raise cash for the holiday? Try JP Patch's Buy/Sell/Trade board, and see that your old snowblower ends up in a local garage.

5. Weather: Expect sunny skies and temperatures in the upper 40's today. Thursday could bring rain, but the temperature will remain unseasonably warm, with a high in the lower 50's.
