Sunday, December 16 was a rainy, windy day but the Au Pair in America Suffolk County au pairs were warm and happy at their International Potluck Holiday Party. They gathered at Community Counselor, Cindy Garruba’s house for a feast! Everyone brought a dish from their country to share!
Then we played holiday games and got to know everyone a little bit better by sharing holiday customs from our countries!
A silly Christmas story right left grab bag gift exchange was fun. Everyone got a gift and Cindy gave each au pair a Santa hat and gift, too.
We finished up with dessert. Christmas carols played in the background, while laughs and conversation was lively. Lots of fun for all!
Sunday, December 15th was the International Holiday Party for the Suffolk County Cluster of Au Pair in America. Each au pair brought a dish from their country for the International Feast.
Each au pair brought a wrapped gift for the gift exchange. The gifts were placed under the tree as the au pairs arrived. After our wonderful feast, we gathered around the tree for the gift exchange.
Cindy Garruba, Suffolk Community Counselor, handed out her gifts to each au pair. Colorful socks, a little red white & blue earriings, an ornament to remember their holiday in the USA, and some candy, too!
Pictures around the tree, holiday music and lively conversation was enjoyed by everyone. Happy Holidays!!
