Guilderland Lacrosse Team Plants Trees

 
Well my friends …
What we did today was the most fun I’ve had in 2 months !!!
Today the guilderland lacross team came up to Christmas Land LLC and planted 12 pine trees for “Trees of Hope “ project through our non profit Seeds Of Endless Hope.
These trees will be sponsored in memory or in honor of loved ones! Every November these trees will be lit all season at Christmas Land & also their will be a beautiful wood sign in front of the tree engraved however you want! If interested in a tree please go to 
our Seeds of Endless Hope page for details.
The team wanted to give back and also do something again as a team since they weren’t able to have their season cause of Covid 19
Then the parents took it to the next level and organized over 100 cars to stop by with decorated cars …fire department ..police department …to congratulate the 8 kids who are seniors …they had their photos on banners hanging on our fence line …
These kids were such an awesome group !!! They did a good deed ….wore their masks ..& got to be together !!
Huge thank you to Guilderland parents for organizing …we are sooo appreciative of all the work the kids did !!!

PS THE FACT THAT IT SNOWED WAS TOO FUNNY….cause here we are planting pine Trees in May at Christmas land & it snows ! Gotta laugh it was freezing and 30 degrees today

See the News10 article about their deed HERE.

Santa’s Visit to the Albany Med Pediatrics Unit

In 2018 we had the honor & privilege of visiting Albany Med & bringing gifts to the brave …amazing children battling cancer & other diseases these precious kids shouldn’t have to be dealing with.

Thank you Rob & Ryan for inviting us. The staff at Albany Med is amazing. The families and kids are so brave and awe inspiring. My heart & prayers goes out to all of them.
As tears filled my eyes seeing these children and there families, I realized I was the lucky one to have met them and honored to have been able to witness the joy on their faces as they waved to & hugged Santa.

Thank you sooo much to all of our wonderful Christmas Land LLC customers who donated amazing toys in our toys box this season …thank u to all the kind people who shipped toys and dropped toys off at my house who didn’t even put a name on the box ..so whoever you kind people are THANK YOU … thank you to my parents & special friends whose monetary donation bough iTunes gift cards for all the kids so they can buy music…movies & games of their choice.

We are forever changed by this experience.

Christmas Land Hosts Quest for Grace

We were thrilled to host Foster children & their foster families in December 2017. The families were brought to us through “Quest for Grace” based in Schenectady. They visited Christmas Land & loved all the crafts…music…Frankie the train & Santa!!! We were so happy to treat the families to lunch & homemade chocolate! Afterwards, Christmas Land gave each child wrapped gifts when they departed in the hope this helped make their Christmas extra special. 

What is Quest for Grace? See this excerpt from their homepage!

Since 2005, The Quest for Grace Foundation has provided clothing, and other items to foster children in the Capital Region. The Foundation operates solely on donations and good will. Every item is free and nothing is sold.
Founded on the premise that “every child is a gift,” we seek to make a positive difference in the lives of these children. We hope that our efforts help lighten the burden of neglect, indifference and abuse and let foster children know that someone cares for them.

What a blast on December 10th and 11th!

We have a lot of people to thank for this wonderful weekend!

First and foremost, thank you to Ronald McDonald house for allowing us to host your children and their families at Christmas Land! We hope they all enjoyed the photos, cookies, lunch, gifts, music, and fun. We are so grateful to have been able to offer them a day of fun during the holiday season! 

Thank you to Debbie for coordinating all this, to Today’s Limousines for donating the limo and driver, and an enormous thank you to all of you who have attended Christmas Land and donated gifts for the children and their families. We couldn’t have done it without all of you!
