Christmas Ward Party

For many years we have had two different ward parties, a Breakfast with Santa and an Adult Ward dinner, but as life has become crazy we have tried to simplify and I really felt bad that the kids were not getting the spiritual side of Christmas, and we only wanted to have one party, I did not want to give up Santa, but I also wanted the children to remember the true meaning of Christmas, so I combined.

Since we did not have the Breakfast with Santa, we decided to have breakfast for dinner. And the kids love breakfast, no picky eaters at this one! and the men love the Biscuits, Sausage and Gravy!

I am working on this page!

So many signs of Christmas!
We see them everywhere.
Our days are full of craziness
And not much time to spare.
There are many things that we must do,
cooking, shopping and errands too
by the end of the day we stop and ponder...
did I have breakfast? hummm..... I wonder?
But never fear the day's not done.
Come and join us for holiday fun.
 


"Breakfast for Dinner" will be served at 6:30pm followed by a short program.
Santa will be joining us from 5:30pm until 6:30pm

Santa Program  
We had Santa in a whole different room, we set up a Christmas tree, brought in a chair from the foyer and took pictures of each child while they were on his lap.

We also gave out at treat:

Candy cane

Small bag with a few pieces of candy

 

CRAFT:

Since we had Santa there before the meal and program, we needed something for the kids to do while waiting, we did had a craft and coloring pages, no one really wanted to do a craft, but they loved the coloring pages.

Since we had the whole ward at the party, I wanted the program to be SHORT!! Here are two different things we did:

Here is a skit a good friend of mine wrote

“True Meaning of Christmas”

 

We took the poem

Davey and The First Christmas

 and acted it out,while someone read it! We also added some music!
