December has become a special month for the Alhambra since its rebirth four years ago. Last year, “White Christmas” was a solid sellout, like this year’s production of “Christmas Carole.” December 2014, it will be, by popular demand, the return once again of ” White Christmas.” We don’t know what is planned after that but don’t be surprised if old Ebenezer is back again.
Executive Chef DeJuan Roy offered two traditional holiday favorites, ham or turkey, both with all the trimmings, with additional choices of parmesan crusted salmon or stuffed roasted acorn squash.
We have seen Christmas Carole several times and always enjoyed it as the experience really seems to be the way to get into the Christmas Spirit. This year, we shared our table with two guests who were making their first visit to the Alhambra in several years and needless to say they were truly impressed with the many upscale changes that have taken place.
Time to be thinking of how to bring in the New Year, and speaking from experience, the Alhambra’s New Year’s Eve is always outstanding. This year the popular musical “Pump Boys and Dinettes” will be on the stage, and the dress theme is “Denim and Diamonds.” The evening starts with excellent food choices, not yet announced. Following the musical, a band will play for dancing until the magical midnight hour and beyond, and then just to be sure no one goes home hungry after all that dancing, an always outstanding breakfast buffet will be served.
