Get into the holiday spirit by helping the Primrose Farmers decorate the Summer Kitchen! Learn about 1930s holiday traditions. Help string popcorn, decorate pine cones, and craft paper ornaments. Use the woodstove to bake holiday cookies and help yourself to hot cocoa. End your evening by decorating the Primrose sleigh and taking it on its first jaunt of the holiday season. All families will have an opportunity to take photos in the newly trimmed kitchen - a great memento to use in next year's greeting card!
