Christmas in Edgartown with Sandpiper Rentals

Edgartown comes alive every December with Christmas lights, smells of warm fires and Christmas wreaths and trees. Edgartown Board of Trade’s 33^rd Annual Christmas in Edgartown is a celebration that throws you right into the holiday spirit. The parade features local businesses, smiling children, and… well Santa of course! This year’s parade was a bit longer with more entries, live animals, singing and dancing. Local business, Slip 77 gave out items from their fabulous retail store located in Oak Bluffs including t-shirts. Sandpiper Rentals held an Open House Tour with many surprises such as raffles, treats, and warm drinks.

At the very end of the parade the children were overjoyed to see Santa Claus.

Once that concluded, I caught up with the Alpacas outside of the Edgartown School. Then joined in the fun with all of the vendors at the Craft Fair where I purchased some homemade ornaments and jewelry.

Finally, I wrapped up the afternoon with some local shopping at MV Florist and Sanctuary in Oak Bluffs where I chatted with the dear owners, Frank and Rita. All in all, it was a wonderful way to start the Holiday Season.

Thanksgiving

(My sisters, from left to right: Krista, Erin, Kelly, Trina and Nikki)

It’s a time of year that I always cherish. Having a family of vegetarians, we have a unique Thanksgiving. We do include all of the traditional sides: mashed potatoes, squash, stuffing (with veggie sausage), Pumpkin, Pecan and Apple pie and much, much more. A lot of the fresh produce and delicious ingredients came from local farms such as Whippoorwill Farm and Morning Glory in West Tisbury.

I feel very lucky to have two Thanksgivings; first at my parents’ house and then another Thanksgiving at my fiancé, James, family’s house (James’s Thanksgiving has the traditional turkey).

I am so grateful for all that I have and for all of the special people that I get to share Thanksgiving with!

Wishing you all a very Happy Holiday season!

(James’s Family)

I’ve been known to be a bit of a “Food Snob.” Friends often ask my opinion of specific restaurants before trying them out.

I have only rave reviews for Copper Wok located on Main Street, Vineyard Haven.

Friendly hostesses greet you at the door, and you then have a choice of three dining experiences.

If you choose to sit up at the bar you will make new friends each time you dine there. Be sure to say “Hi” to Jerry and Ting (Sushi chefs). Watch them create their masterpieces.

Then there’s the communal bar where it would be fun to get a group of friends together as you’re seated across from each other making it easier to share the tasty Pan Asian dishes coming from the kitchen. This would also be the time to order the Copper Love Boat- twelve pieces of assorted sashimi (Chefs choice), ten pieces Nigiri (Chefs choice), Spicy Tuna Roll, and Special Roll of Choice. Yum! My mouth is watering.

There are also smaller tables available for a more intimate meal.

The restaurant is decorated in a Pan Asian theme, it’s fun to look around at all the little touches incorporated throughout. I have to say, one of the bigger pluses to the restaurant is when you are traveling home on the ferry, you can call ahead, and your to-go order will be waiting for you when you arrive.

I hope to see you at Copper Wok soon!
