What a lovely Christmas Day! My family used to make a toast with a glass of sherry at 11:00 with my grandparents and I feel very privileged to now be making the toast at Valerie Manor with all of the residents and families. My mum and dad of course made it very special as mum, ‘Robin’, dressed up as father Christmas and handed out all of the presents to the residents which they thoroughly enjoyed. Mum then had to rush back home to cook our family a traditional Christmas Day lunch for the evening! I would also like to thank all of the dedicated staff who worked on Christmas Day and over the festive period and helped to make the residents Christmas very special.
