Before you get supplies for this activity, contact the nursing home you intend to bless to make sure it's all right to bring cookies. The nursing home down the street from us takes high-needs patients, some of whom can't chew and some of whom have serious health issues, so my family is making Christmas ornaments for each resident instead of cookies.
Either:
Ingredients for making cookies OR refrigerated doughCookie cutters (if you're making rolled cookies)
Cookie decorating materials (optional)
Or:
Supplies to make Christmas ornaments/decorationsFriday
Old Christmas cards
Scissors
Hole punch
Ribbon or ornament hooks
Glue sticks, small red and gold doilies or scraps of Christmas wrapping paper to use as backing (optional)
Saturday
Local confession time schedule
(Non-Catholics can follow James 5:16b and have a time of confession to one another within the family.)
