local residents who welcome you into their decorated homes. A dozen artists will inspire out-of-the-box gift ideas and fresh holiday greens will be for sale. Grab a sweet snack
at the Women’s Club Holiday Raffle and Bake Sale and meet some sociable alpacas. (The LHS campus and marketplace are open December 1.) Admission is free. Lewes; 645-7670; historiclewes.org.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL LIVE!
There are many excellent reasons why this Charles Dickens classic tale of Christmas spirit and redemption is such an integral part of the holiday season. This version
is particularly captivating because it is performed by Gerald Charles Dickens, the great-great-grandson of the author
in a one-man show where he brings the tale’s 26 characters to life using only a table, wing chair, and hat rack. $30. Add a Yuletide tour of the house and grounds of Winterthur for an extra $10.Winterthur; 800-488-3883; winterthur.org.
