Not everyone can go home for Christmas, and the Holidays can be pretty lonely with no friends and family around. So if you looking for something different to do at Christmas this year, check out St. Thomas' annual Christmas Dinner. It is a free and festive traditional turkey dinner with dressing, veggies, and dessert held on Christmas Day. Join us for good food, good music, fun and new friends. The dinner will be held in Canon Wood Hall at St. Thomas' Anglican Church, 8 Military Road in St. John's. You can reserve a seat by calling 576-6632 or emailing christmas_dinner@hotmail.com. Transportation is available for people who need a ride.
