Today was one of my favorite visits at Gillette! For Sunday Activity Land-O-Lakes sponsored and provided a Christmas party for all the children and their families. They were able to decorate gingerbread houses and visit with Santa. Santa even brought gifts for every child, young and old. I was honored to give Santa the tour of the different hospital units so he could visit every child even if they couldn’t get out of bed. The other volunteers and I also dressed up for the event in our most festive Christmas gear. It was such a heartwarming and fun afternoon. There was so much cheer, smiles, and even a few happy tears as Santa went around spreading Christmas joy throughout the hospital; it’s amazing how one man can make so many peoples day unforgettable.
Until next time,
