Pennie 26 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Hi Deanna You may be getting to late of a start to book someone. Look for some Bell Ringers or other entertainers. I would check with churches, family, staff & other AD's in your area. Otherwise how about a nice dinner for residents & family members. Have Santa deliver the gifts to residents & play Xmas music. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennie 26 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Gifts: Make a flyer up & post these around the facility for volunteers & family members: Always ask before purchasing food items, candy, nuts, decorations anything that might be harmful to a residents. Especially those with Dementia. All gifts should be labeled with residents name. Some recommendations on gifts: Socks DVD CD Bird Feeders, hangers or stands (don't forget the seeds) PJ's Books (large print) Perfume (always check with staff first) Frames for pictures Photo Albums (with family pic in it) Stuff Animals Food &/or drinks Clothes Writing paper, pens & stamps Scarfs, gloves, knit hats House shoes Hairbrush or items use personal use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douglash26 1 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Have Santa deliver gifts during your party and you and your staff dress up like elves. Also, you could have a Harry Hanukkah or Rabbi Hanukkah deliver gifts at the same time to your Jewish residents. Someone dressed up in a blue and white outfit similiar to Santa. How about a choir singing Christmas songs, how beautiful to have a big group singing "Silent Night." I also like the bell ringer idea listed above by Pennie. In the past I have done a "Christmas around the World" with 8 different stations, each station is decorated and serves food and drinks from a different country. If possible have people dressed up at each station. One station was the North Pole where Santa and Mrs. Claus and their elves were handing out gifts and a photo booth was set up to take pictures of each guest/group of guests. They received a print out of their picture following the event. You could have fewer stations if necessary. I had a fantastic team who helped make this happen and it was a much loved event. I also had a strolling musician and each station had music playing. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
