By participating in Fruitcake and Kites, grandparents and their grandchildren can create their own special memories. Participants will discuss the Capote story, view and discuss the movie based on the story, write their own favorite Christmas memories (to be collected and printed in a booklet), and learn an art form called Zentangle to make unique Christmas ornaments.
