Santa, With Syrup
Santa will be having breakfast at the Wharf restaurant in Edgartown on Sunday from 8 to 10:30 a.m. Kids are welcome for photos ($5) and pleading for their preferred presents. All can enjoy pancakes, eggs, sausage and home fries; admission is $4 per child and $8 per adult.

Serving Hands
By MARK ALAN LOVEWELL
The Vineyard’s public access community cable station MVTV will provide a video on-demand service for Island political meetings. Denys Wortman, president of the public access cable station, announced last Friday that the service is under way, though still in its early stages.
History, Home, Heaven and Hell
In House of Bones, a young filmmaker casts a candid lens on a family beset by doubt, disarray and sadnesst in the wake of a matriarch’s death, as they face the inevitability of losing all that a familial figurehead holds together just by being there, including a rambling old West Chop summer home and the millions of moments and memories that have been born within its walls.
Strike Up the Bands
More than 150 young musicians will play such favorites as Georgia on My Mind, Charlie Brown’s Linus and Lucy and African Bell Carol in the all-Island winter concert on Wednesday, Dec. 16, at 7:30 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center at the regional high school. Admission is free, and the show lasts under an hour.
