My Sunday school class decided to take on some Christmas cheer projects. One of them was to make these cute little Christmas trees. They are about two feet tall and flat, so you can hang them on the wall (and easily store them flat). Kudos goes to Miss Teresa for coming up with this incredibly clever idea (based on a picture she saw in a magazine!). Miss Gassy’s husband, Mister Jimmie, was sweet and welded the triangular frame for us. Then last Sunday, we wrapped the frame with stiff garland, securing it to the frame with twist ties. Then we twist-tied a small strands of lights, ribbon, ornaments and whatever else was donated to make ten of these little Christmas trees.
This Sunday, we had a field trip to the local nursing home. We hung one Christmas tree in each bedroom and one in the common area/tv room. The lady working there was completely overwhelmed. It never occurred to me that the workers would enjoy the Christmas trees just as much as the residents. We got to meet the cutest little lady. We were asked to guess how old she will be on her birthday next week. V guessed 39 and the little lady just giggled! She was born in 1912, which makes her almost 97 years old! Wow! We should all be so fortunate to make it that long.
The whole experience from start to finish was such a blessing to my class! We decided that we should have a lot more field trips!
