SPREADING HOLIDAY CHEER
TAKE a HOLIDAY PLANT (or two) to a NURSING HOME
FOOD BOX item:
DESSERT MIX
Today in the food box put in a dessert mix. It can be cake mix and frosting; cookie mix; pudding or jello or even one of each. Dessert is part of the meal. Everyone seems to enjoy dessert and it seems dessert items are not included in food donations.
Nursing homes are a great place to spread holiday cheer. They need a bit cheering up for their patients and even staff. Find a place to purchase a poinsettia or two; a miniature Christmas tree; holiday bouquet or even Christmas cactus. Take item/items to a local nursing home. Explain to those in charge you’re trying to spread holiday cheer. I am sure your donations will be welcomed. Perhaps you can take one or two poinsettias or one poinsettia and another type holiday plant.
In the past I actually donated vases of silk poinsettias that I put together myself. A small bud vase with a few red and white poinsettias; I tied a red ribbon around the vase. These ended up I heard into rooms of patients who needed to be cheered up.
As always think out of the box on this act of spreading cheer. You never know how your small gesture can help another.
Before taking the items to the nursing hone you should call and speak with someone in charge. Explain what you plan to do. I don’t think you’ll get any objections on doing something nice. The people in charge might even give you suggestions on type of holiday plant would work.
Until tomorrow....get a poinsettia for yourself too.
Tomorrow.....invite friend/ friends for holiday movie night.
