Rumour has it last night was the Christmas do in the North Pole… no wonder Elfie is so tired this morning! Looks like the elves were partying all night and Father Christmas was on the DJ decks 🎅🏼🎤

From snowball fights to zip lining, the elves have been up to all sorts while the patients have been fast asleep the last few days 🙊
We’ve been loving our patients reactions to the elves naughty antics- the siblings and families have been loving them too!
Let us know which one has been your favourite so far 🤩

The naughty elves have been at it again! We found Elfie the Elf (named by our patient) doing some construction work with the paw patrol gang this morning 👷‍♂️

01/12/2025

It’s December 1st, which means the mischievous Elves have officially defrosted and have come to PHDU to keep our patients and families company!
We found this elf hanging from the curtain rail this morning to surprise one of our patients when he woke up 🎄🎅🏼
