8 GIFT GUIDE 2013 Thursday, December 5, 2013
C hildren come in all ages when it
comes to Christmas — including
senior citizens. Family members
love to see the smile on Grandpa,
Grandma or Aunt Bertha’s face when they
open up a beautifully-decorated package
to discover a warm pair of slippers, a
delicious fruitcake or plane tickets to Las
Vegas.
Some local experts on elder citizens,
Nancy Raske, Kat Riley and Berta Derman
— and non-expert Cliff Newell — have
kindly consented to give their suggestions
on what gifts will make the senior citizens
in your life happy. While making your list
you can hum “My Favorite Things” from
“The Sound of Music.”
