CHRISTMAS DAY
Stuffed with fun, our Residents enjoyed a fabulous Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. With nothing left over, this joyful bunch were proud as punch as they pulled crackers, tucked into food and closed out the season in a wonderful mood.

Friendships are so important at Christmas time
FESTIVE GREETINGS
One exception to the rule where words speak louder than actions are Holiday cards. They reflect sentiment during the season and heartfelt wishes. All Residents felt overjoyed with their messages of goodwill and adoration during this festive of times! Whether it’s a private joke, an unforgettable family memory or a nickname that rings a sound truer than anyone could guess, our card exchanges were once again more proof that a simple snapshot of the past can make someone smile. Our recipient Charles pondered for seconds before realising who had written to him, jumping in celebration at the gesture! Delightfully assisted Carolyn with the reading of her card, not once, not twice, but three times for this lady. Continuing the joy, Joan’s message resonated with her heart so much that she wanted to treasure this keepsake in her heart!
“That’s mine”- Joan keeps her one close to her heart
Quietly pondering – Charles eventually celebrates
PAINTING
Staying within the lines of late December, avid painters Devika and Veronica T were at it again, brushing off Christmas in style with a masterpiece of art. Brushing off their competition, the pair love this one!
