We had our first Christmas party at the Juvenile Residential Facility (JRF) this last Monday. I am very appreciative of all the volunteers we have. Some of the kids were a little hyper but then again, they are teenagers. Two of our volunteers fixed nachos, a type of meatballs, and some chocolatey kind of desert. They also fixed a gift bag which had a stocking cap as one of the gifts in the bag. It took no time at all before they were modeling them to everyone there.
We had some recreation time in the gym. One of the activities was pulling Santa (one of the kids) on his sled (a gunnysack) delivering his packages (orange traffic cones) while being pulled by his faithful reindeer (the other kids).
The Christmas karaoke time was hilarious. Some of the volunteers didn't appreciate the creative melodies as much as I did, but, the kids sure had a good time making up their own tunes.
Perhaps this year you might consider being a friend to a teen who needs someone to listen to them. Think about it.
