Christmas


Christmas Eve


We went to the clubhouse Christmas eve where they had a very nice program. there were some interesting stories, nice Christmas carols with a choir and some individual singers. and an appearance by Santa Claus who gave presents to the children. They said my favorite about the retarded grandparents (see at bottom of blog). Afterwards there were tables full of goodies that everyone had brought.





We went for a walk and looked at the lights in the park after the goodies.


Christmas Day

We spent Christmas with our 4 friends and started by having liqueurs and coffee at Dot and Floyd’s and opened presents



Everyone came to our motorhome for supper and brought some of the food
We finished with having coffee and dessert at Linda and Jerry’s.







RETARDED GRANDPARENTS
This is priceless! (and was actually >> > reported by a teacher).After Christmas, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school. One child wrote the following:
We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa. They used to live in a big brick house but Grandpa got retarded and the moved to Arizona . Now they live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look like grass. They ride around on their bicycles and wear nametags because they don't know who they are anymore.
They go to a building called a wrecked center, but they must have got it fixed because it is okay now, and do exercises there, but they don't do them very well. There is swimming pool too, but in it, they all jump up and down with hats on. At their gate, there is a dollhouse with a little old man sitting in it. He watches all day so nobody can escape!Sometimes they sneak out. They go cruising in their golf carts. Nobody there cooks, they just eat out. And, they eat the same thing every night. Early Birds. Some of the people can't get out past the man in the dollhouse. The ones who do get out, bring food back to the wrecked center and call it pot luck. My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too. When I earn my retardment, I want to be the man in the dollhouse. Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren
