I have some friends that have been tying quilts to give to the long term residents of the nursing home. So I have been helping them tying. Right before Christmas we all went with our kids and handed them out and sang Christmas Carols. It was so nice to be able to give back to someone else this Holiday Season. I felt like this Christmas meant more to us, because we gave. I would like to do something like this every year so my boys can learn the true meaning of Christmas. The residents just loved their new quilts. I think each one of us had bonded with someone there. I had a guy that was so interested in were my ancestor's are from. He loved my skin tone and just kept telling me that I was beautiful. I asked a group if it was alright if we sang, one gentleman said only if we could sing. I told him that we all belong to a Choir and would hope we could sing. It was a wonderful way to spend the Holiday with my Family and Friends.
