🎄✨ What a wonderful Christmas party we had today!
We started the day with beautiful festive piano music from Tony, setting the perfect Christmas mood.
This was followed by a delicious three-course Christmas dinner — judging by all the empty plates, it was thoroughly enjoyed!
The afternoon continued with a fantastic concert from Steven Quinn , with staff and residents well and truly getting their dancing shoes on. To finish the day, we were delighted by a special visit from Santa Claus 🎅
A truly magical day enjoyed by everyone ❤️
