Celebrating Tradtions (2)
Grandparents Day. At our Thanksgiving day dinner, we were invited by Arn and Will to come to their school in Hollandale, Minnesota. The school usually has a Christmas Special to which specifically the grandparents are invited. This year was no exception. After volunteering at the local VA hospital on December 11, we headed north, to Minnesota. Every 40 miles we went, the temperature dropped 3 degrees or more. When we left Des Moines it was 37, when we got to Hollandale it was 19.
The next morning we went to Hollandale Christian school and the temperature was 2 chilly degrees.
The presentation of traditional Christmas songs and the view towards the cross was illustrated by “Chrismons.” These are iconic representations of events in the life of Jesus Christ and in the Christian church. These chrismons were placed on a wreath for all to see.
The kids performed really good. The teachers are to be commended for putting it together and presenting it flawlessly.
The grandparents were blessed.
After the presentation we shared cookies and drank some coffee ass we shared the classroom setting with each of our two grandsons. Another great tradition.
