Families have been sharing their traditions with Scrooge in the Jolly Days exhibit, and he's documented each and every one in his Jolly Journal. We'll continue to share Scrooge's Jolly Journal throughout the season!

Two unique young ladies by the names of Shania and Emani positively glowed as they shared the moments they enjoy during the festive season. They continued my education of the holidays by telling me that we should spend time with our family, and share in love and kindness. I couldn’t agree more. In fact why don’t we continue that spirit year round? Thank you, ladies!
Isaiah and Kimberly enjoy Christmas morning with a breakfast prepared by their father. I am told his eggs are particularly scrumptious! And to top that off they open their Christmas presents together as a family shortly afterwards. What a perfect morning. I must get that breakfast recipe!

It appears that American football is quite popular during the festive season. A young man named Ethan enjoys watching the "Colts" with his family. He informed me that they were actually playing today. His father was able to check on the score from a mobile device he carries with him. We discovered that they were about to win, and I joined the family in a rendition of “GO COLTS”! How exciting.
Sophia, the charming young lady I had the pleasure of meeting today, most likes helping others this time of year. Much like myself, she enjoys giving gifts and taking care of animals. How refreshing!
I visited with a gentleman named Aaron and his sister Emily today. They have a very novel idea of getting a new ornament for their Christmas tree each year. Good grief if I did that I am not sure you would be able to see the tree by now!

The McDonald family were at the museum today enjoying family time with Grandma. They were of significant number I must say. But they all enjoy spending time together over the holiday period. It appears that this family has two elves assign to them from Santa Claus. Rudy and Coy are their names. It is their job to monitor the behavior of the McDonald’s children and report back to Santa Claus. I am sure Santa will be very pleased with these charming children.
Josh enjoys singing Christmas Carols during the Holidays, unfortunately he was unable to share his talents with us today. May we can encourage him to join in our singing-along that occurs each day in the Sunburst Atrium!
Young Eli informs me that each and every year he has a tradition of making orange juice with his grandfather. How delightful! I am informed that the vitamin C obtained from oranges can assist in staving off the common cold. Sign me up!
