  • The Spirit of the Season

    The halls of the Renaissance Boston Bedford Hotel are decked. The gingerbread house is set. The lights twinkle on the gazebo in the courtyard. The scene is set for Santa. Soon he and his elves will arrive to bring toys for the good little girls and boys (and hopefully the adults too). Everyone is getting ready for his arrival.

    Among them are three very special employees. Aaron, Donna and Robby are all full time employees who have worked hard for the hotel and Bistro 44 for the past 20 years. Unsung heroes, they work in the wings with the rest of the kitchen staff making sure that every dish is spotless, every piece of silverware is polished, every crystal clear.
