Holiday Fun for Everyone in Rancho Sahuarita

The holiday season is off to a great start, with both children and adults enjoying the festivities and participating in the fun activities at Rancho Sahuarita.

The month of December kicked off with the Children’s Holiday Party, where children enjoyed a visit with Santa and took the opportunity to share their Christmas Wish List with him. After that, they took rides on the “Polar Express” Rancho Sahuarita train. Crafts, cookie decorating and a special concert of Christmas carols and songs by a local Kinder class were also a big hit at the party.

This month’s coffee social featured an “Ugly Sweater Contest”, where residents dressed in their best, festive outfit, in hopes of winning prizes for the most creative, funniest, and ugliest sweaters. Our bi-weekly Coffee Socials continue to be a resident favorite and are a great opportunity for new residents to meet their neighbors and socialize. We hope to see you at the next one!

Residents enjoyed the third annual Chanukah Party, which included the traditional lighting of the Menorah, games, a latke bar, story time and fun activities and games.

Santa made a return visit to Club Rancho Sahuarita at the fourth annual Pancakes with Santa and Toys for Tots drive this past weekend. This traditional event has become a resident favorite, and one that families look forward to each year. There was excitement in the air as children waited their turn to take a picture with Santa. Many children dressed up in their Christmas best or wore their favorite PJs which added to the festiveness of the occasion.

Don’t worry if you missed these gatherings, there are still many exciting, holiday events for residents to enjoy, this month. Story Time for Tots (Dec. 13th) features a Dr. Seuss book, Who Likes Christmas? and Toddler Camp (Dec.20th), will be celebrating with “It’s a Small World” theme.
