Maria’s Café, Deli & Market, located at Sunroad Resort Marina at the east end of Harbor Island, will again host a free family holiday party as a gift to the community on Sat., Dec. 19 from 5 to 10 p.m. As is typical at Maria’s Café, now decorated for Christmas, family-style favorite dishes and desserts will be in abundance, as will non-alcoholic hot beverages.  Guests are encouraged to bring a new unwrapped toy to donate to Toys for Tots Toy Drive. Santa will arrive during the party with a gift for every child. And for adults wishing to participate in a gift exchange, participants are encouraged to bring a wrapped gift to put under the tree and pick another to take home. “This is my thank you to everybody for their support throughout the year,” said Maria Yakkey, who owns and operates the café with her husband, John.  “We really love Christmas and have a lot to be thankful for this year.” Yakkey said she encourages past or prospective customers to attend because, for the Yakkeys and their family and staff, Christmas is a time for family and friends and a time to build relationships. Maria’s Café is located at 955 Harbor Island Drive on east Harbor Island. Winter hours are daily (except Wednesdays) from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and until 9 p.m. on Fridays and 10 p.m. on Saturdays.
