This weekend kicks off all things holiday. Make your holiday cards at Berkeley Library this morning with their green screen background, get some holiday shopping done at vendor events Saturday and Sunday. The first of two Caring Santa events take place at the Ocean County Mall for children with sensory needs. Not ready for Christmas - that's okay. There's a turkey craft at Beachwood Library.
Avoiding all things holiday? There's a Harry Potter event at Barnes & Noble in Brick. Or the OCVTS Performing Arts Academy will be performing Alice in Wonderland at the Grunin Center.
