I want to do something nice for a retirement home, what should I do?

Yesterday, I went to this really nice retirement home to sing Chanukah songs and light candles. I stayed for awhile talking with a few of the residents, and they all have very interesting stories and they have great personalities. One of them took me to her room and she didn’t have much and she told me, "I have a blanket, food, and love. That’s all I need." A guy told me, "Once you get this old, you don’t think about what you want or what new clothes to buy. It’s thanking G-d that you are alive each and every day."

I’m sorry that is so long, but if you heard that, wouldn’t you want to do something nice for them?? I do, and I’m going to. I just need ideas. I know i’m going to make them cookies, some christmas, some hanukkah, and some just regular cookies. but i want to do more, pleasee give me ideas! it’d be really appreciated.

Merger of Christmas and Hanukkah?

Continuing the current trend of large-scale mergers and acquisitions, it was announced today at a press conference that Christmas and Hanukkah will merge. An industry source said that the deal had been in the works for about 1300 years.
While details were not available at press time, it is believed that the overhead cost of having twelve days of Christmas and eight days of Hanukkah was becoming prohibitive for both sides. By combining forces, we”re told, the world will be able to enjoy consistently high-quality service during the Fifteen Days of Chrismukah, as the new holiday is being called.

Massive layoffs are expected, with lords a-leaping and maids a-milking being the hardest hit. As part of the conditions of the agreement, the letters on the dreydl, currently in Hebrew, will be replaced by Latin, thus becoming unintelligible to a wider audience.

Also, instead of translating to "A great miracle happened there," the message on the dreydl will be the more generic "Miraculous stuff happens." In exchange, it is believed that Jews will be allowed to use Santa Claus and his vast merchandising resources for buying and delivering their gifts.

One of the sticking points holding up the agreement for at least three hundred years was the question of whether Jewish children could leave milk and cookies for Santa even after having eaten meat for dinner. A breakthrough came last year, when Oreos were finally declared to be Kosher. All sides appeared happy about this.

A spokesman for Christmas, Inc., declined to say whether a takeover of Kwanzaa might not be in the works as well. He merely pointed out that, were it not for the independent existence of Kwanzaa, the merger between Christmas and Chanukah might indeed be seen as an unfair cornering of the holiday market. Fortunately for all concerned, he said, Kwanzaa will help to maintain the competitive balance. He then closed the press conference by leading all present in a rousing rendition of "Oy Vey, All Ye Faithful."

Christmas Cookie Candles, part 1.wmv

Part 1….The ingredients and supplies needed. Actual construction is in part two (stupid 10 minute limit!). These are easy, no-bake, fairly fast, and much more impressive in person. Although I recall seeing a basic idea for these, I don’t know where I saw it. If you know, please let me know so I can credit them. If you use this idea, please credit me. Fundraisers okay, but not contests which should be “original” ideas. They would go great at a Cooky Walk, Bake Sale, or Holiday Bazaar.
