Jeffco Crew #047 - Santas, Holiday Craft Fairs & Pop-ups
Hello! We're all basically on holiday break already, right? Mentally?
My email delivery service sure is. I was all ready to send yesterday morning and they had shut down my system, which took me until right now to fix.
Needless to say I'm switching providers over the holidays. Anywayyyyyy...
We've got a week chock full of holiday events, especially on Saturday where it seems, suspiciously, like Santa can be more than one place at once.
In our house we're working through our annual holiday movies list, each year we try a few new ones to see if they'll become tradition.
What are your faves?
Let's get into it!
🧸 Miracle Shop Toy Drive
Saturday, Dec 14th, 10am-4pm @ Parfet Park, Golden
Golden Rotary's collecting toys for their annual Miracle Shop, a popup store where parents facing financial challenges can shop for new toys at garage sale prices (or pay what they can). Drive through Parfet Park with new, unwrapped toys this Saturday. The shop serves 500+ kids each year and lets parents choose gifts for their children rather than just receiving handouts. It's a nice way they preserve dignity while helping families during the holidays.
