Hear Christmas Favorites Performed Live by Michael Dell and Maria Hickey

Enjoy the best of Christmas favorites, sung live by popular local singers Michael Dell and Maria Hickey, along with a holiday breakfast, at a free public event in the lobby lounge of the Courtyard by Marriott, 500 Frank Sottile Blvd. in the town of Ulster, from 8:30 to 10 a.m. Wednesday (Dec. 19).

The holiday music and breakfast celebration will be part of the monthly Seniors Health & Wellness Breakfast Club sponsored by HealthAlliance Hospitals in Kingston, members of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth).

The celebrated singing duo Dell and Hickey will lend their airy harmonies and musical impressions to such holiday fare as "Jingle Bells," "Sleigh Ride," "White Christmas," "Blue Christmas," "A Holly Jolly Christmas," "Merry Christmas, Darling," "Santa, Baby" and "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer."

The free breakfast, including scrambled eggs, French toast, hash browns, a fruit cup, coffee or tea, and a holiday treat, will be provided by the Dietz Stadium Diner of Uptown Kingston.

The club, which is free and open to the public, normally meets in the food court of the Hudson Valley Mall, 1300 Ulster Ave. in Kingston, from 8:30 to 10 a.m. on the third Wednesday of every month.

Attendees at the monthly breakfast club meetings enjoy a delicious breakfast in addition to entertaining demonstrations and lively discussions with health and wellness experts.
