Happy Holidays from Estes Park!
Every year, my company The Yellow Mailbox Real Estate Services, sponsors a Santa Party at the Good Samaritan Village in Estes Park for the assisted living residents. Every year has a theme...this year, director Carey Stevanus came up with the idea of miniature trees, decorations and chocolates. Local sponsors Ace Hardware, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Simply Christmas, Mountain Sage Inn and the Rocky Card helped to make it a huge success!
My friends, Paul and Marilyn Saunders, came as Mr. and Mrs. Claus to pass out the gifts with my sons. Even the residents who claimed not to believe in Santa anymore were thrilled to see them! Oratorio Society members Lori Burnham and Bob Gunn were accompained by Ray Young in their perfomance of Christmas favorites such as "Winter Wonderland", "White Christmas" and "The Christmas Song". The Good Sam residents added their voices to the performance with a few sing-a-long tunes, too.
One of the residents winked at me on the way out and commented that she could tell that we had as much fun putting the Santa Party on for them as they enjoyed having it...my response was, "Absolutely!"
