Please call ahead and make sure the sleigh did indeed arrive. We are making every effort to have gifts for older youth, but we would like to remind you that sometimes a fun game can be just as rewarding for an older youth, especially when he/she and his/her CASA play it together. While you are perusing the Holiday Village, remember this is also a nice time to pick up a birthday gift to put away until needed.
