LIKE MANY PEOPLE, I love this time of year. Although it's bustling with lots of traditional family and community activities, it's the goodwill we show each other that makes this season special to me.The staff and residents at Sykesville Eldercare Center showed their giving spirit yesterday with a holiday party for area children.About 50 disadvantaged children were treated to a festive party in the center's social hall. The children, ages 3 to 12, enjoyed light refreshments, songs and games with the residents and staff.

Surrounded by more than 50 dancers, Steven Beerman, 55, grooved with his sister, Lisa Singer, to Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" last night in a large ballroom in Martin's West. The song took on special meaning for the siblings this year because Beerman, who has a severe form of mental retardation, has missed the annual Chimes and Intervals holiday party the past two years because of an illness that has required him to use a feeding tube. This year, he was able to eat pureed roast beef, mashed potatoes and vegetables at the party, which organizers say is the state's biggest for people with disabilities.

The 72-year-old Pikesville resident looked stylishly put-together when we "Glimpsed" her at a holiday party thrown by Sascha Wolhandler and Steve Suser.

There was little question what the star of the show was at the 12th annual holiday party hosted by AT&T's Candi Humphrey and her husband David, WLIF's news director. It was a 14-foot Christmas tree adorned with about 800 lights which absolutely dazzled guests.One of my favorite priests was at the party, Loyola High School's Father Joseph McNamara, who's best known in the sports world as the former Champlain of the Baltimore Colts.It was also good to see Bill and Mary Zorzi, he's a the AAA vice president; Ron Matz, WCAO news director, with Barbara Harman at his side; Bob Moke, WLIF's program director who is credited with the station's successful format change; Bob Caret, vice president and provost at Towson State University; Mac and Leigh Barrett, he's with McCormick; Peter Troup and his wife Lynne, he's a Noxell vice president; Steven Thomas, an attorney, and his wife Audrey, who owns Sassafras at Towsontowne Center; WLIF's Sloane Brown and her doctor husband Steve Sobelman; AT&T's Bill Dunbar and his wife Patty, along with AT&T's Barbara Fegley, who was with Winston Blenckstone -- he was telling me about his Toronto Blue Jay farm team which plays in Myrtle Beach.

Sitting in the kitchen, absent-mindedly decapitating gingerbread men, we tried to find sense in the madness that surrounded us."First it was multicolored chasing lights around the garage. Last year it was twinkling lights in clear plastic tubes shaped like Santa and his reindeer," she said softly. "This year? I'm not sure, but it appears to require several singing puppet-like creatures."I winced, anticipating my neighbor's yard occupied by harmonizing mannequins.Our spouses were getting out of hand.

Gunston School for girls is nestled above the Corsica River in TC Queen Anne's County. It's been there since 1911, when Mary and Samuel Middleton left Baltimore for their 300-acre summer place to found a co-educational school for their children and a few other "invited" Queen Anne's children. Gunston became exclusively a girl's school in the 1930s.Today the acreage is smaller and the enrollment is 65 boarders and about eight day students, all of whom plan to go on to college. It's a real hands-on school where everything is orchestrated by youthful headmaster Temple Blackwood.
