We’ve been busy here at Wyndham Hall as our residents have been Crafting for Christmas. We have made a variety of things from Christmas Plates to Christmas Cards.

Saturday 18th December

In the morning the activities was a flower arrangement , which turned out very nice for one of the residents 80th Birthday , she loved it .

Service users enjoyed a chilled afternoon with a little festive cheer as they sat down in the afternoon and enjoyed cheeses and mulled wine. They had a selection of cheese which were accompanied by crackers which they washed down with a cheeky glass of warm steamy mulled wine.

Our home is now all decorated and ready for Christmas.

We decorated our Christmas trees all around the home, we decorated a special lounge where residents have been taking photos to send to families and friends in time for Christmas. The activities co-ordinator has painted our windows which has brought a festive cheer as you walk into our home.

This week all staff members at Manorhey enjoyed a Christmas party from the company. the room was decorated beautifully with buffet food, desserts, drink station and a festive sweets station. staff pulled crackers and enjoyed this festive time with friends they work with. Thank you MMCG for a lovely party.

We were very lucky to receive some colouring sheets from the local church. The residents enjoyed colouring these in and talking about time spent at their local churches.

We’re embracing the Christmas spirit in the week leading up to Christmas by making Christmas decorations to hang in the lounge and decorating gingerbread men for everyone in the Home to enjoy.

This year's Christmas season is different for all of us due to the pandemic. Instead of doing the traditional Christmas tree decorations. We, the Amber Court staffs wanted to create something new and unique for everyone. Christmas is the celebration to keep our families connected in a special way during the season of joy. With this, everyone has an idea of hanging our family photos in the Christmas tree with colourful candy cane frames. From the staff to the relatives, we share a special together.  Overall, we decided to call this special moment the FAMILY CHRISTMAS TREE. 

We have some fine bakers here at Abingdon Court, so it's no surprise that our baking sessions go down so well with those that live here - and as we are entering the festive period, we simply had to make some mince pies!

From rolling out the pastry, filling the cases with the indulgently fragrant mincemeat and baking them in our portable oven - this activity screamed comfort, sparking memories of parents and grandparents stirring up the spices on the stove, and sharing delicious festive treats with family and friends.
