PARKER — A family in Parker decided to try a new tradition this Christmas of opening up their home to complete strangers.
Emily Infante and her husband Oscar posted a message this week on Facebook offering to cook Christmas dinner for a few people who don’t have a place to spend the holidays.
“This year we seen a lot of friends go through some really, really hard things and it just kind of reminded us how blessed we really are,” Emily said. “We don’t have a lot, but we have each other and we have our baby and we have some extra.”
This is the couple’s first Christmas in Colorado. They moved here in July after Oscar was offered a job here for Volkswagen. The two said they were drawn to the outdoors and loved the feel of the area, even if it is hundreds of miles away from both of their families.
“This is actually our first Christmas with just us,” Emily said. “I was like, ‘Oh, maybe I’ll just put it out on Facebook and see if someone wants to come.’”
Emily said she told her husband about the idea and they decided it was the best way they could spread a little holiday cheer since they’re not with their own families.
