Cézanne’s Greetings

Earlier this year, the royal family of Qatar purchased Paul Cézanne’s painting “The Card Players” for a cool $250 million — the highest price ever paid for a painting. Fortunately, this holiday season, you don’t have to be part of the 1 percent to purchase a one-of-a-kind work of art. Nov. 16 marks the beginning of Maude Kerns’ 20th annual “Art for All Seasons” exhibit, with the majority of art for sale at prices for all budgets.

Fashionably, Festively Ugly

The holidays are a time to visit family, devour sugary treats and wear the ugliest clothes imaginable at social events. In an ironic way, of course. During the next month, Eugeneans will flock to ugly sweater parties, dressing in outlandish vintage apparel in an effort to out-ugly their fellow party-goers.

Holiday Roundup

The holidays always manage to be the busiest time of year, just when our circadian rhythms are trying to get us to slow down a bit. Yet Eugene’s version of “busy” will likely still allow for the enjoyment of a few cultural and seasonal events this year. There are myriad options to fill the seven weeks from now until the New Year — more than we can write about here, so consider this a sampler and nibble away.

Outside for the Holidays

Holidays mean curling up by a warm fire, cocoa in hand, cat on your lap, with your stockings hung by the fire with care ... Because hanging your socks by the fire is a great way to dry them after a nice long hike in the rain.

The holidays are upon us, and for Oregonians those couple days off we get for stuff-bread-up-a-turkey’s-butt day and that other holiday when having an old man sneak into your house at night is somehow a good thing don’t have to mean shopping, eating and complaining about shopping and eating — they mean it’s time to put on a warm, dry coat and head outside.
