Every year we like to spread the Holiday spirit and give back to those in need. The Illinois Masonic Children’s Home provide a safe and nurturing environment for children who are unable to care for themselves due to various family or home conditions. For this reason, we have hosted the Illinois Masonic Children’s Home Christmas party at our Continental Toyota dealership for several years. It’s an evening full of fun games and a warm Holiday spirit.

This year we held the event on Tuesday, December 13th at 4:30pm and both children and adults had a great time! We played a Left-Right Pass game where they had to pass a gift around a circle based on a story that involved the words ‘left,’ ‘right,’ and ‘across.’ We all shared some laughs and at the end there was one lucky winner! And what would Christmas be without delicious cookies and hot cocoa? The children enjoyed some snacks while taking lots of pictures using our very own Snapchat geofilter!

After all the fun came Santa Claus and it was time to hand out the presents. We had previously received a ‘wish list’ from the children and made sure Santa brought the gifts they asked for. You could see their faces light up once they opened the presents and saw they got exactly what they asked for!

It was truly a magical evening where we could feel the Christmas spirit and the gratitude coming from the children because they had the Christmas they dreamed of! We are really glad we got the opportunity to host this event once again and hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did!
