Christmas is coming and it is time to return to the warm comfort of Christmas Carols, Christmas trees, Christmas gifts, Christmas lights and… the Christmas Caroling Party of the Modjeska Club held on Sunday, December 12, 2021 at 4:30 pm at the elegant and beautifully decorated residence in Anaheim Hills, CA. After sharing “oplatek” and holiday dinner, Christmas Carols will be performed by Olivia Kierdal with Henryk Chrostek who will then lead the guests in singing along our favorite Polish Christmas carols. Songbooks will be provided.
