Remembering Christmas

As the Christmas season is quickly

approaching we thought what better

way to bring in the holiday than with

a few Christmas questions! We

asked a few of the tenants here at

Boulder Estates about their Christ-

mas memories and here is what they

thought.

When I say Christmas what comes

to your mind?

“Jesus was born.”

“Families gather together.”

“I think of and pray for:

The lonely

The hungry

The homeless

The broken hearted.”

What is a traditional food that your

family has for Christmas?

“Lamb.” -

“Belgium cookies!”-

“Christmas cookies!”

“Cut out cookies. The kids love to

decorate them!”

“Lefsa!”

- PAGE 1 - - PAGE 8 -

What is on your wish list to Santa

Claus this year?

“Good health. And happiness.”

“Safe travel.”

“Love of family.”

“Peace in this world. No more fight-

ing.”

“Be good to others.”

“Lots of calls from family & friends.”

“Good health for the 2 new twins that

were just born into our family.”

What is one gift you will never forget

getting?

“A doll that was 7 feet tall. It was as

tall as I was & it was beautiful!”

“A doll.”

“Our Christmas tree with candles &

eggs for decoration. It had real candles

on it and tinsel. It was so pretty!”

We hope that these questions & an-

swers have gotten some of you thinking

about what Christmas means to you.

Wishing you a very blessed & Merry

Christmas,
