12th night Celebration 

 Twelfth Night is a gala evening celebration,   the next one will be January 7, 2006. We gather together for a Wassail punch  and hors d'oeuvres as we greet guests [who may be in Victorian dress if desired], followed by a catered, five-course meal using a traditional turn-of-the-century menu.  The feast is held in the dining room at the long table, service provided by costumed maids, often members of the family.  After dinner, carols are sung and the candles on the Christmas tree are lit during a chorus of Silent Night, in a family ceremony that has occurred every Christmas without exception in this house since 1884.  Reservations are a must.  Call (510) 524-5780 for information regarding times and cost.

	Guests dressed in Victorian clothing are served  a five course meal by the great great granddaughters of Alfred and Emma Cohen.
