Christmas Party

Hello, friends!  Today was our Christmas Party!  

It was absolutely amazing and SO MUCH FUN!  We made Christmasy crafts, ate snacks, played in our bounce house, enjoyed a treat walk, decorated Christmas cookies, and received a special visit from Santa!  We also watched a Veggie Tales movie about the true meaning of Christmas.  As always, we want to give a huge thank you to every parent volunteer, as well as every donation.  I probably sound like a broken record, but I am always truly amazed at the amount of parent help we are blessed with.  It is such a gift.

The other teachers and I had prepared gifts for the children, which were handed out at the party.  Some children had to wait longer than others as we passed them out, as there were roughly thirty bags to be dispersed.  They were so patient, though!  The children were also very gracious.  I can't tell you how many of them came up to hug me and say thank you!

In addition to seeing the children's enjoyment of the party, as well as their gratitude for their gifts, my favorite part of the party was the visit from Santa.  Santa sang a few carols with us, and then reminded us of the true significance of Christmas.  He told us the story of Jesus's birth.  This is the true reason why we celebrate Christmas.  We celebrate the birth of our Savior!  I was so touched by Santa's visit, as he focused on this important truth.  He even led us in singing Happy Birthday to Jesus.  So, so beautiful.

Again, thank you to all who made this party so special!  From all of us staff here at Mount Calvary, Merry Christmas, and a happy, blessed, new year!  We look forward to seeing you all in January.

Peace and joy,

Miss Brooklyn
