This year we celebrated with our Boston cluster together the upcoming Holidays at our December cluster meeting at the counselors home.
We enjoyed a potluck dinner where each aupair brought a prepared home made dish of their home country to share with us. This was a very special international buffet and we all had a blast to try so many delicious dishes and desserts.
To experience a typical American tradition we did a gift exchange : Yankee swap
For our agenda of the meeting we had “Help Children Cope with Stress: Tips for the Holiday Season” and “Ideas for Christmas and Chanukah Activities with Kids”.
