Off to Carol

The kids and I are going to carol in the morning to the elderly folk with the playgroup. We've made some cute little cards for them to hand out. I absolutely love this time of year, the thought of making someone happy or giving the little that I can to lift someone's spirit...it's such a joy! I can remember visiting my great-grandmother in the nursing home as a pre-teen, I hated it at first, but then I saw how much the others enjoyed our company as well. Many of them abandoned or had lost their loved ones, maybe didn't have them...so we filled that void. I hope that this is something we can do each year and that my children will learn to appreciate the elderly, regardless of how stubborn some may be! ;)
