2014-10-30 06:17:53 PM debbie134 Everyone piles up their wrapped gifts on a table. Each person takes a gift. One by one you unwrap your gift, and then the next person opens their gift and can choose to keep it or take your gift, or someone else's.You do not know until the last person opens their gift what you will end up with. Lots of fun

2014-10-30 06:28:46 PM debbie134 You can also buy Advent Calendars at a Christian Bookstore or suplly house
2014-10-30 06:28:49 PM karrym fresh vegs and fruits it was great
2014-10-30 06:29:08 PM kathyhughes I would bet that the residents enjoyed the fresh fruit
2014-10-30 06:29:29 PM wward We do the countdown to Christmas as well
2014-10-30 06:29:30 PM kathyhughes That was always a hit....esp oranges
2014-10-30 06:29:33 PM karrym yes they did
2014-10-30 06:30:00 PM kathyhughes Residents always wanted an orange in their stocking
2014-10-30 06:30:08 PM karrym fruit is a great snack they all love
2014-10-30 06:30:08 PM janicewatts air fresheners with oranges and cloves
2014-10-30 06:30:31 PM kathyhughes yes and lemons and limes
2014-10-30 06:30:43 PM janicewatts makes their room smell real fresh
2014-10-30 06:30:57 PM kathyhughes we would also roll them in cinnamon when we hung them to dry
2014-10-30 06:31:19 PM janicewatts that sounds good.
2014-10-30 06:31:26 PM kathyhughes we would use an ice pick to make the holes as it would be easier for the residents
2014-10-30 06:31:41 PM karrym I wonder how much trouble I would be in if I help put up stockings in my Chirstian residents room .
2014-10-30 06:31:53 PM kathyhughes HMMMMMM
2014-10-30 06:32:09 PM janicewatts good idea, cause i know the cloves are hard to push in
2014-10-30 06:32:17 PM kathyhughes I would lay low for now, but perhaps tell the residents families to hang them
2014-10-30 06:32:28 PM kathyhughes How about a gelt bag?
2014-10-30 06:32:34 PM kleson03 JEHOVAH WITHNESS MAY BE IN TROUBLE
2014-10-30 06:32:54 PM kathyhughes I know that also causes everyone to panic
2014-10-30 06:32:56 PM karrym what is that
2014-10-30 06:33:20 PM kathyhughes Make little blue bags with gold coins glued on them
2014-10-30 06:33:30 PM kathyhughes for gelt.....gold coins
2014-10-30 06:33:37 PM jackie3 We ask their religion on our assessment so we will not offend anyone.
2014-10-30 06:33:45 PM kathyhughes which you use in the dreidle game
2014-10-30 06:33:52 PM karrym lol Choc. gold coin filled
2014-10-30 06:34:00 PM kathyhughes right
2014-10-30 06:34:02 PM debbie134 No Christmas gifts or celebrations/decorating for Jehovah Witness residents. But, I am gining them a little something midway through the month because we love them. Cleared it with the families first.
2014-10-30 06:34:23 PM noemi gotta go now I hope everyone has a great halloween and a goodnight
2014-10-30 06:34:25 PM kathyhughes so instead of stockings make them into gelt bags and no one will figure it out
2014-10-30 06:34:30 PM noemi left the chat room
2014-10-30 06:34:34 PM karrym so true

2014-10-30 06:35:19 PM jackie3 we are primarily a christian filled facility. no jews and maybe one jehova whitness
2014-10-30 06:35:23 PM debbie134 They come to all the activities exept for birthday parties and Trick or Treat. They do not want to spoil anyone else's fun.
2014-10-30 06:35:46 PM janicewatts how about games for thanksgiving and Christmas
2014-10-30 06:35:47 PM kathyhughes I had one ambulatory resident who would go around after the communit groups left and take down the holiday decor they would hang on the Jehovah Witness doors
2014-10-30 06:36:02 PM debbie134 Jackie we are also 98% Christian. But, they will celebrate everything for the most part.
2014-10-30 06:36:25 PM kathyhughes Turkey Trotting and Reindeer Racing
2014-10-30 06:36:50 PM janicewatts what is resident racing?
2014-10-30 06:36:51 PM karrym Deer Races !
2014-10-30 06:36:53 PM debbie134 How do you do Turkey Trotting, I am doing this activity Monday and lost the directions?
2014-10-30 06:36:56 PM kathyhughes Black Friday Shopping and Giftwrapping competition
2014-10-30 06:36:58 PM vkissack ok you cant just throw something random out there and not explain! lol
2014-10-30 06:37:32 PM kathyhughes WE made Turkeys and used the horse racing game we had or you can make your own track
2014-10-30 06:37:37 PM kathyhughes LOL
2014-10-30 06:37:47 PM jackie3 yea ours will too but ive just never done any other religion related activity. We also do the usual santa stuff too tho
2014-10-30 06:37:47 PM kathyhughes we also made our own Elves
2014-10-30 06:37:51 PM debbie134 Oh. Got a track, so I am all set. Thank you!
2014-10-30 06:38:30 PM karrym gold leaf snowflakes
2014-10-30 06:38:34 PM kathyhughes They residents would make the Turkeys, Elves, Snowmen, Cupids, bunnies and leprachauns
2014-10-30 06:38:35 PM janicewatts how do you make the track
2014-10-30 06:38:38 PM vkissack Oh I have so much to learn!
2014-10-30 06:39:00 PM kathyhughes Its like a long piece of green track divided into sections
2014-10-30 06:39:20 PM debbie134 He made a track out of a large piece of green felt. Used fabric paint to divide the track into sectionns
2014-10-30 06:39:29 PM kathyhughes then you roll dice and each turkey moves that number of squares
2014-10-30 06:39:42 PM johnhernandez OH OK!
2014-10-30 06:39:45 PM janicewatts ok, so do you roll a dice to move them, or how do you move them
2014-10-30 06:39:46 PM vkissack Ahhhh..........now I am getting it!
2014-10-30 06:39:48 PM kathyhughes We used a vinyl green table cloth
2014-10-30 06:39:50 PM karrym Dreidel spinning
2014-10-30 06:40:02 PM karrym and decorating
2014-10-30 06:40:32 PM kathyhughes we made it the width of the tables so the residents would move their own teams
2014-10-30 06:40:38 PM janicewatts good idea, that way, you can roll it up and store it
2014-10-30 06:40:43 PM kathyhughes right
2014-10-30 06:41:00 PM kathyhughes It was easier to store
2014-10-30 06:41:23 PM debbie134 Sometimes you need to have the residents "encourage " their turkeys (or horses) by cheering for them. They also usually will name them
2014-10-30 06:41:32 PM janicewatts thank you, sounds like fun. I might even get the men ivolved in that
2014-10-30 06:41:33 PM vkissack Kathy can we talk about Veterans Day? Just wondering what other people from other parts of the country are doing to celebrate it :)

2014-10-30 06:46:02 PM debbie134 I asked. I explained that our vets are in declining health and that it would be a great strain on them if they had to physically be there. The Applebees near us couldn't have been nicer.
2014-10-30 06:46:23 PM kathyhughes I think that they would love to do that,,,esp if you send them a pic of your Vets enjoying their meal
2014-10-30 06:46:24 PM karrym very cool
2014-10-30 06:46:48 PM kathyhughes and with a big Thank-you sign or call the TV stations
