Last year we had a fudge making contest at Christmas time. Residents, their families, and staff entered close to 25 different kinds of fudge. We numbered the fudge and made tags stating what kind it was, peanut butter, white chocolate almond etc. the residents voted on the best fudge 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. We had gift cards as prices. The real fun was that everyone got a plastic goody bag and took home a piece of each kind of fudge, or their favorites. We also had plenty of water on hand. We had a real sweet time.
We also host a breakfast with Santa for staff and their children and residents and their great and great grandchildren. One of the residents families takes pictures of children on Santa’s lap and we are able to print them immediately (modern technology) and we buy cute picture sleeves at the dollar store. We have carolers that stroll around singing Christmas songs. Everyone enjoys a buffet style breakfast. We send each child home with some snowman soup, (mug with hot chocolate, marshmallows and a candy cane in it). It is a highlight event for many.
