Hello coordinators and all the children at all of the Self-Help communities!!!
The Christmas spirit is in all of us, especially the children here at Cottonwood Creek! We have just dug into the spirit and have been working on everything from holiday crossword puzzles to writing about what we are looking forward to this December. We have also created multiple projects and have set up our Christmas tree and decorated it with our projects that we have made. What I'm really proud and happy to share with everyone is our Christmas letters the kids wrote to Santa. I had read before that all the letters that get sent to the north pole do not go unnoticed but that the post office has a program called "letters to Santa" and they take on the task of writing back on every letter received. Isn't that wonderful!!!
Well I'm happy to say we sent our letters in and we got a response from Santa!! WOW!!! The kids were over the moon! They were so happy to hear from Santa and it really gave them hope! Thank you United States Post Office!!! Aside from that, we have been working on decorating the tree so we made some "Christmas lights" with the name of all the Cottonwood Creek children. They really liked the idea of having their name on the Christmas tree! It was simple and looks very nice. We also made some snow men ornaments made out of popsicle sticks and felt for the scarf...for the nose and buttons we simply used hole punched circles and glued them on our snowman. It has been such a good month and it's not even over! I wish everyone a great rest of the month!
