Dear Friends, 

Friends, you all know that Santa Fe’s shopping scene is stellar at any time of year. The holidays rev up our arts engine into high gear with the art and craft fairs that we wait all year for. Several of them happen right outside our doors. One even takes place in La Fonda on the Plaza!

Start by encouraging the natural talent of the next generation of artists and craftspeople at the Young Native Artists Winter Show & Sale Dec. 2 at the NM History Museum, kitty corner from us. These are the children and grandkids of Palace of the Governors’ Portal Program artists and they demo and sell their wares.

Then head over to Santa Fe Community College’s 29th annual Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair (Dec. 8) with 75 artists offering jewelry, baked goods, woven handbags, pottery, painting, scarves, tinwork, straw appliqué and woodcarvings. Of course, you’ll find a variety of holiday cards (they’re not late until 2019, right?).

The third annual String of Lights: A Holiday Market (Dec. 8) at the nearby Farmer’s Market Pavilion includes 50+ local makers selling unique handcrafted gifts–a perfect place to get all your holiday shopping done while you grab a drink, hang out with friends, and enjoy music.

Our neighbors across-the-street at the Institute for American Indian Arts hold their 12th annual Holiday Art Market (Dec 15), which coincidentally is the same weekend as the 13th Annual Winter Indian Market (Dec. 14-16) right here at La Fonda. More than 150 of the most accomplished Native artists in the world will be selling jewelry, pottery, paintings, weavings and much more in a festive and intimate environment. There’s the also a fabulous silent auction, live music and dance and more! Stay at La Fonda and you’re literally steps away from either event. Our Winter Market package includes tickets to the Friday preview and weekend events, breakfast for two in La Plazuela, complimentary parking and no hidden resort fees. But don't wait long, this weekend always sells out!

The middle of the month means that La Fonda’s own decorating masters, Gilbert Mesa and Chef Lane Warner, who will have already spent hours recreating our hotel in miniature with gingerbread, festooning it with farolitos, icing, and a whole lot of candy. Our annual gingerbread house replica draws wide-eyed kids and adults each year for sweet fun and smiles in the lobby. The secret, Gil says, is icing the gingerbread pieces while they’re flat. Who knew?! (Dec 14)

Cream of Green Chile Chicken and Noodles Soup - Yield 1.5 gallons

As cold and flu season starts to hit Santa Fe, it seems only appropriate to share our recipe for Cream of Green Chile Chicken and Noodles Soup. Green chile is renowned for its healing properties, as is chicken soup. The green chile has a very high level of vitamin C and, in fact, it is said that it has double to triple the level of vitamin C that an orange does. So make a batch and keep it on hand for that oncoming cold. 

INGREDIENTS

  • ½ pound onions, diced small
  • ¼ pound celery, diced small
  • ¼ pound carrots, diced small
  • ¼ pound diced hot green chile
  • ½ pound whole butter
  • 6 ounces all-purpose flour
  • 1 gallon chicken stock
  • 3 pounds chicken breasts, char-grilled, medium
  • 1 quart Half and Half, warmed
  • 1 bay leaf
  • To Taste. kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1 pound egg noodles, blanched al dente

METHOD

  • In a 2 gallon pot melt the whole butter over medium high heat, once melted sweat the onions, celery and carrots until the onions are translucent.
  • Now add the green chile and cook for a few minutes.
  • Add the flour and make a roux with the above ingredients, cook on medium heat for 5 minutes.
  • Add the stock and bay leaf and bring to boil. Now turn down to a low simmer.
  • Add the warmed half and half, chicken and blanched egg noodles. Bring back to boil and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Chef Lane likes to serve this with warm cornbread.

Live at La Fonda


Missy Pulliam Collier hails from Pojoaque, and spent the 1980s singing with Missy and the Lukewarm Water Band around Northern New Mexico. They notably opened up for musical acts like Lone Star, Highway 101, Daryle Singletary (RIP), Carlene Carter, Rodney Crowell, and Tanya Tucker. She also sang with the group Sierra here at the La Fiesta Lounge, where she was “discovered” and headed to Nashville for a while.

Missy and her band are happily returning to performing after a ten-year hiatus. Missy’s back with her new group Missy & Company, which includes old friend Thomas Sisneros on keyboard, Bobby Carmen on guitar, Rudy Lovato on bass and David Baines on drums. All are seasoned musicians familiar to local audiences.

“I’m thrilled to playing again at La Fonda, because I really love people and performing for them,” Missy says. Missy & Company relies on her rich, emotional vocals to move audiences, bringing new life to traditional country standards from country legends like Patsy Cline, Reba McIntyre, Merle Haggard and Tammy Wynette.

“Every once in a while, we’ll throw in some new country songs, and some upbeat Beach Boys and other fun songs. It depends on the mood of the crowd,” says Sisneros. Welcome back to La Fiesta, Missy & Company! (Nov 21-22)


It's a good time to...

Hanukkah on the Plaza lights up the darkest time of the year Dec. 2 with the annual giant menorah lighting right outside La Fonda on the Santa Fe Plaza. Mayor Alan Webber joins the fun of live music with the Klezmorados, a trapeze acrobatic show with the great Aerial Aura, and of course, latkes, gelt and hot chocolate.

Hanukkah’s 8 nights of lights means more holiday celebrating with the not-to-be-missed annual bash at the Santa Fe Jewish Center, also with latkes, donuts and a concert with songstress Zarina Nazari, a classical pianist, composer and singer (Dec. 6). Then enjoy a Greek themed Hanukkah feast the next night. (Dec. 7).

Santa Fe’s beloved Christmas at the Palace brings the community together just outside La Fonda’s door for an evening (Dec. 7) of hot cider, cookies, live music, a chance to operate an antique printing press, old fashioned activities, a visit from Mr. and Mrs. Claus -- all in the legendary magic of the Palace of the Governors. A free, family event. (Donations of non-perishable food welcome.) Then, the annual candle-lit procession of Las Posadas travels around the Santa Fe Plaza and concludes in the Palace Courtyard (Dec. 9).

Light Among The Ruins (Dec. 8), farolitos at the Gisewa Pueblo and San Jose de Los Jemez Mission Church at Jemez Historic Site, just a short drive from Santa Fe, promises an evening of peaceful splendor, Native American flute and dancers, bonfires and more. Get your timed ticket now for this rain/snow or shine event!
