This year we celebrated with our Boston cluster together the upcoming Holidays at our December cluster meeting at the counselors home.<\/p>\n

We enjoyed a potluck dinner where each aupair brought a prepared\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

To experience a typical American tradition we did a gift exchange : Yankee swap<\/p>\n

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”.<\/p>\n
