We took the kids to the DC JCC's annual day of service on the 25th, so that they could "give back."
They donated some clothes and then we went to a retirement home to bring some "holiday cheer" to the residents.
Plus, they got to touch their first Xmas tree :-)
I was glad that we had a chance to give them some hands-on experience in community service.
We explained why we were donating clothes, why going to a retirement home was a nice thing to do, and how their presence could bring a smile to someone's face.
