ASTORIA — The Flavel House Museum’s annual holiday events are approaching.

Enjoy a relaxing afternoon with a cup of tea and traditional holiday plum pudding in the festively decorated historic Flavel House Museum. Tea and Plum Pudding is held daily from 1 to 4 p.m. from Saturday, Dec. 13 to Tuesday, Dec. 23 and again from Dec. 26 to 30.

Plum pudding is a traditional Victorian holiday treat. According to Victorian author Satenig St. Marie, “Plum pudding was believed to have magical powers including the ability to make peace. A husband and wife who had had a misunderstanding would be reconciled by the moral influence of the pudding while stirring it.”

Cost is $12 per person or $10 for Clatsop County Historical Society members. The event includes fresh, warm plum pudding, a cup of tea and self-guided tour of the museum. Reservations are recommended for groups of eight or more.

Then, Old St. Nick will attend the Old-Fashioned Christmas celebration in the Flavel House Museum from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, Dec. 15

Visitors will have an opportunity to see the decorated museum and be treated to holiday music, crafts, games, and stories for the kids. Everyone will enjoy cookies and hot chocolate. Parents, don’t forget your camera, as you will want to capture that photo of your little one on Santa’s lap in front of the fireplace in the Flavel House library.

This event is made possible by the support of Easom Property Management and the Windermere Pacific Land Company. The event is free to CCHS members, regular admission applies to non-members.

The Flavel House Museum is located at 441 Eighth St.
