Happy Friday!  The day started with The Daily Chronicle.  We learned about some different historical events and trivia.  Did you know the medical term for ice cream headaches is sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia.  One resident said after that, “I’m never having ice cream again!”  One of our favorite things is the humor of the day!  They all especially liked this one by Conan O’Brien, “A study in the Washington Post says that women have better verbal skills than men.  I just want to say to the authors of that study: ‘Duh.'”  After the chonicle, we all did some stretching and played a short game of ball toss to at least get some exercise in.  Then we started singing a few Christmas carols!  We’re all ready for the best time of the year!  Lastly, we watched a video of mulitple babies giggling.  That always brightens our day!
After lunch, several residents did a couple word games.  One of the games was making a list of as many things related to Christmas as we could.  Everyone loves Christmas!  Next, they each worked on a puzzle.  It was great to see some teamwork too!  Lastly, we did the activity, You Be the Judge.  I read them a couple cases and they gave the verdict.  One verdict they came up with was, “10 lashes with a wet noodle!”  It was so funny!  There were some interesting cases, that’s for sure!
