The Holidays in R.E., 2017

We started off the holiday season with the hanging of the greens.  The Joy Boys entertained us with holiday carols while the children got to work decorating the tree. (Photos by Corinne Mann)

We then had so much fun at our Simple Gifts Workshop, where the children made stockings and ornaments, hand towels and bath salts, perfume and bird feeders. It was inspiring put watching the kids put in so much careful effort to make a beautiful gift.
