Holiday Happenings

I'll be busy shopping this weekend, but the more organized out there might enjoy something less stressful:

Holiday Double Feature The children's classic The Red Balloon tells the story of a child who is followed through Paris by a balloon. Another wordless movie, White Mane, is about a boy and a horse. Saturday and Sunday, 2:30. Jacob Burns Film Center

Polar Express Celebration This holiday celebration features the only team of reindeer to visit northern Westchester this season. Saturday. Country Childrens Center
