We had such a lovely afternoon spent with Huntingdonshire Community Church!🎄They put on a wonderful show that truly captured the spirit of the season. The choir sang a beautiful selection of Christmas carols, filling the space with festive music and creating a warm, joyful atmosphere that everyone enjoyed.

Alongside the singing, others were busy handing out mince pies and cakes, adding that extra touch of Christmas comfort and making the afternoon feel even more special. It was so nice to see people chatting, smiling and coming together to enjoy the afternoon.

Thank you again to Huntingdonshire Community Church who took time to create a wonderful afternoon for our residents! 🎄✨🥰

Another Christmas cake decorated and ready to be enjoyed on Christmas Day! 🎄🍰
We loved taking our time, carefully adding the final touches and making sure every detail was just right. We certainly made sure that the outside looked just as special as it will taste on the inside.

Decorating gave us time to share our favourite festive stories, chatting away and listening to Christmas songs playing in the background.

Now it’s all wrapped up and ready for Christmas Day, when it finally gets to be enjoyed! ✨🎄

🎄✨ Our Final Christmas Party – A Fantastic Celebration! ✨🎄

We finished our Christmas celebrations on a high with our final, but very successful, Christmas party in the home 🎉

Everyone thoroughly enjoyed watching Boots 'n' Strings perform, singing and dancing along to a great mix of Christmas favourites and rock and roll classics 🎶💃🕺 The room was filled with laughter, smiles and festive cheer, with many residents getting up to dance and join in the fun.

It was also lovely to see family and friends come along to celebrate the festivities with us, making the afternoon even more special 💖

The drinks were flowing, festive treats were enjoyed, and the afternoon truly felt like a celebration 🎄✨ We ended the party perfectly with a lovely buffet of food, which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.

What a wonderful afternoon and a fantastic way to round off our Christmas parties! 🎅🎄💖

🎄✨ A Beautiful Choir Visit from St John's CE Primary School, Huntingdon ✨🎄

The residents thoroughly enjoyed a lovely visit from St John’s C of E Primary School’s choir, who came to sing Christmas carols and festive songs for us. Their performance was absolutely wonderful — they all sang so loudly and beautifully, filling the room with Christmas cheer 🎶✨

The residents were full of smiles and praise, and it was clear how much everyone loved watching the children perform. Monica especially adored the little girl and boy dancing at the front, which brought extra smiles and laughter 😊💖

A big thank you to Mrs Hayward for organising the visit and allowing us to enjoy such a special performance. It truly made our day and created some lovely festive memories 🎄🌟

🎄✨ Our Third Christmas Party Was Full of Festive Fun! ✨🎄

The residents had a wonderful time celebrating at our third Christmas party as we enjoyed a fantastic performance from Raw Theatre. There was plenty of laughter as we played games and tucked into some delicious festive treats.

We were also delighted to welcome residents from the other community who were able to join in after missing out on the singer at their own party — the more the merrier! 💃🕺 Everyone sang and danced along, from traditional Christmas carols right through to rock and roll classics.

A special moment was when Christine reminisced about seeing Bill Haley live in London, as we all hand-jived together to Rock Around the Clock! 🎶✨

To finish the celebration, everyone enjoyed a delicious buffet of party foods, lovingly prepared by our amazing Kitchen team 👏🍽️

What a joyful afternoon filled with music, memories and festive cheer! 🎅🎄💖

🎄✨ A Joyful Monday Morning at Our Christmas Carol Service ✨🎄

The residents had a wonderful start to the week, enjoying a beautiful Christmas Carol Service this Monday morning. The service was warmly led by Rev Charlie, alongside our lovely friends from Christ Church. Familiar carols filled the room, bringing smiles, festive cheer, and a real sense of togetherness. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the morning so special — it truly captured the spirit of Christmas. ❤️🎶

🎄 Christmas Party No. 2 at Hunters Down Care Home! 🎄

Although our performer had to cancel this afternoon, it certainly didn’t stop the fun! Everyone burst into laughter and cheers as Ann made a grand (and very funny!) entrance as our stand-in singer for the day. We were also treated to a beautiful rendition of Silent Night from Lynn — thank you for sharing your lovely voice with us. 💛

The festive games were a big hit too! From Christmas tree ring toss to pin the nose on Rudolph, there were smiles, laughter, and plenty of friendly competition. Residents sang, danced, and enjoyed the drink of their choice — with white wine being especially popular today! 🍷✨

Our “elves on the shelf” even transformed into their human forms, spreading mischief and giggles throughout the afternoon. 😄🎅

We rounded off the party with a delicious spread of festive food, making the day feel truly special.

Everyone said they had a lovely and fun afternoon and the absence of a performer wasn’t missed.
Another wonderful celebration here at Hunters Down — full of joy, music, and Christmas spirit! ❤️🎁

🎄🍫 Elf Update: Jean Saves the Day (and the Chocolates!) 🎅✨

It seems our mischievous Elf on the Shelf has developed a very sweet tooth… because this morning he was caught tiptoeing around Jean’s chocolate stash!

We can’t promise he’ll behave… but Jean has assured us she’ll be keeping a close eye on him. 😉🍫
More festive mischief to come!
