To raise money for the Washington Place Foundation, Gov. Linda Lingle will sign a keepsake Christmas 2003 ornament at a reception from 3 to 4 p.m. Sunday at the C.S. Wo Gallery, 702 S. Beretania St.

The $15 metal ornament depicts the Piano Room at Washington Place, said to be a favored spot of Queen Lili'uokalani, composer of such tunes as "Aloha 'Oe" and "The Queen's Prayer." It's the fifth in a series of collectibles benefitting the foundation.

Information: 543-5388.

TV lampoons holiday

Bryan Cranston (left), Judge Reinhold (right) and Penelope Ann Miller sit down together at the holiday table for TBS Superstation's first original comedy movie, "National Lampoon's Thanksgiving Reunion," premiering Sunday.

Reinhold is an anesthesiologist to the stars who travels with his family to Idaho to spend Thanksgiving with a long-lost cousin (Cranston) and his wife (Miller). The union serves up a clash of personalities, with Cranston and Miller on the hippie side of the table and Reinhold and his family on the conservative end.
