Thanksgiving, Christmas, Ramadan, Kwanza and New Year’s Day are annual holidays that can prove difficult for people who have experienced the death of someone significant. Holidays can be some of the roughest terrain we navigate after a death loss. When a parent or primary caregiver has died, how does a child find the means to purchase and wrap a gift for their surviving caregiver? Many of the youth at Mourning Hope want to put a smile on their loved one’s face, and celebrating the spirit of giving brings the child great joy.

For the second year in a row, First-Plymouth Church is teaming up with Mourning Hope this holiday season to support children in this gift-giving endeavor. Shopping for their caregiver is a rewarding and emotionally satisfying part of the holiday season, and children who have experienced the death of a caregiver and have attended a Mourning Hope grief support program are invited to participate in a special event designed just for them.

Kids will have time to select and wrap a gift for their caregiver, and participate in a craft project. While the kids are shopping, some tips and helpful information about how to care for oneself while navigating the stresses of the holiday season will be offered to caregivers.

There is no cost to participate in this event thanks to the generosity of First-Plymouth Church. But in order to ensure an adequate number of gifts, craft projects and snacks, families must register by December 1, 2021.

There will be two time blocks available, each with limited space. Families are encouraged to register early.

The Spirit of Giving is appropriate for school-aged children and teens (kindergarten through high school seniors) who have attended a support group at Mourning Hope.

Eligible families will receive an invitation via email which will include the registration link.

Indianapolis motor speedway and marengo cave are just 2 popular tourist stops in the hoosier state.

The Potawatomi Zoo captured footage of two Galapagos tortoise sisters squaring up by stretching their necks long as a way to intimidate one another. The one with the biggest stretch usually comes out on top as the winner.

While in Indiana, there are plenty of tourist attractions that can be enjoyed by the whole family. 

The town of Santa Claus is an adored spot for a touch of holiday cheer any time of year. 

If the timing is right, you can catch the infamous Indianapolis 500 while in the state. If not, there are plenty of other races that take place at Indianapolis Motor Speedway throughout the year and tons of history to be learned at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum. 

VISITING ARKANSAS: SEE LITTLE ROCK AND EXPERIENCE HOT SPRINGS DURING YOUR VACATION

If you need inspiration about what to do while you're in the Hoosier State, below are a few ideas to add to your itinerary.

  • Visit the town of Santa Claus
  • Stop at the boyhood home of Abraham Lincoln
  • Catch a race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Museum

1. Visit the town of Santa Claus

There are so many attractions that fill the town of Santa Claus, Indiana. 

There is plenty to see and do in Santa Claus, including Holiday World & Splashin' Safari. 

This theme park is full of exciting roller coasters and tons of attractions for the little ones in your family. Water rides are available to enjoy during the warmer months.

2. Stop at the boyhood home of Abraham Lincoln

A short five miles away from Santa Claus is Lincoln City, where you can find the home where former President Abraham Lincoln spent much of his childhood. 

Lincoln was born in Kentucky, but his family later moved to Indiana, where he lived from 1816 until 1830, according to the National Park Service's website. 

While there, you can visit the park museum to learn more about the life of Lincoln, visit the Lincoln Living Historical Farm and walk the Boyhood Trail, just as Lincoln did while he was growing up.

3. Catch a race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Museum

Indianapolis Motor Speedway is home to the famous Indy 500, which has taken place since 1911, according to Indianapolis Motor Speedway's website. 

The Indy 500 is usually held in May, but the attraction is still worth a visit whatever time of year you find yourself in Indiana. 

Check the website to see what events are happening during your visit.

If you're visiting at a time when no events are taking place, you can always take a tour of the track for a behind-the-scenes look at the space. 

There's also a museum on site, but it is closed for renovation until April 2025.

4. Explore Marengo Cave

Many visitors head to Marengo Cave on their trip to Indiana. 

The cave's formation dates back around a million years, according to Marengo Cave's website, but it was not discovered until 1883.

In 1984, Marengo Cave was named a National Natural Landmark.

Tours of the cave take place year around, with two different walking tours offered to visitors. 

One is the "Crystal Palace" tour, which takes about 40 minutes, and the "Dripstone Trail," which is a 60-minute tour. 

There are many other activities that are available at the cave beyond the walking tours, like a waterfall crawl and an underground adventure.

If you want to stay close to Marengo Cave, there is a campground where you can pitch a tent or rent a cabin for a more luxurious camping experience. 

5. Go to Indiana Dunes National Park

If you like to camp, fish and hike, Indiana Dunes National Park is for you. 

Dunewood Campground is open for overnight stays from April 1 through Oct. 31, according to the National Park Service's website, though the park itself is open year round.

Make sure to take your camera with you, as you will be surrounded by stunning views worth snapping a photo of.
