Today our Keepers of the Home and Contenders of the Faith groups went to Eskaton (where Kenny's Mom lives) and some of the kids played piano. We also asked the residents a few questions, such as "What's your favorite Christmas memory?" or "What was a favorite toy you received as a child?" It was fun to hear some of their answers, such as the "roller skates with metal wheels" or the "oranges in my stocking!" A little different from what our kids know of Christmas! The kids handed our ornaments that we had made last Friday to all of the residents as well.
We also sang "Joy to the World" with them; spreading a little of Christmas and Christ with them. It's good to honor our elderly and show the love of Christ in small ways.
Merry Christmas!

What fun! I was planning to do this with my students in January. I need to get the info from you (phone number and such) so if you can email it to me, that would be great.
