HAS ANYONE TRIED CONTACTING A CLASS TO GET ELEMENTARY KIDS TO WRITE LETTERS TO SANTA AND HAVE THE RESIDENTS REPLY TO THE LETTERS AS SANTA? HOW DID THIS GO? HOW MUCH TIME DID YOU NEED BEFORE CHRISTMAS TO FINISH THIS PROJECT? WHAT DID THE RESIDENTS REPLY IN THE LETTERS? WERE THEY TYPED TO BE BETTER READ? OR JUST USE RESIDENTS HANDWRITING (WHICH ISN'T ALWAYS THE BEST)
THANKS!

Getting Residents to assist with replying as Santa is a great way for them to be involved make sure that the answers are all type written via the computer, and in Monoscript. Involving my residents in pre Christmas traditions is fun for all. You do need to be organised and allow yourself at least 3 weeks pre Christmas to have all letters replied. Reminisence becomes very intense, and even the glass of milk and cookies is left in our day room. :-D
