Every year in December for the Christmas Holiday I have a very special Card Class.  We have a class where we make eight cards, and then I hold a Christmas Tea for all of the participants.  Instead of paying for the class I ask the participants to spend their money on toys and gifts for children. We then donate all of the gifts to a local church, Sacred Heart, whose congregation is often in need of assistance, for their Christmas Party.  I generally have an SUV full, full, full of gifts for the church. 

Yes, we wear hats and have a bit of fun. I have collected Tea paraphernalia, and hats, for many years and could easily serve 50 guests for Tea at my house!
