Plan your holidays with the COA

It may seem far away, but Christmas and New Year’s Day are really just around the corner.

• Friday, Dec. 9: Christmas Time at Reagle Music Theatre. A cast of hundreds, including the Rockettes doing all the dances you would see on Broadway, nativity scenes, sing-alongs, and more, will get you in the spirit for the holiday. It’s an evening show, starting at 7:30 p.m. The cost is $45.
   
• Friday, Dec. 30: New Year’s Eve Lunch-Top of the Pru, Boston. Because of no van availability on Saturdays, the Council on Aging will be celebrating New Year’s Eve on Friday in a private dining room at the Top of The Hub. Appetizers, lunch, and dessert along with hats, noisemakers and more highlight this annual trip. It’s a dressy occasion for all, with door-to-door van service. The cost is $60.
