Activity: Santa Comes to Town Celebration 🎅🎄
Description: Today, our residents gathered for a joyful “Santa Comes to Town” celebration filled with holiday cheer and togetherness. Everyone enjoyed homemade eggnog, warm hot cocoa, and a delicious spread of pastries and cookies while spending time socializing and soaking in the festive atmosphere. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, each resident received Christmas gifts and had the chance to open them during the celebration—bringing smiles, surprise, and heartfelt gratitude all around.
The fun continued with two lively games: a dice game where, in the end, everyone walked away a winner with a prize, and a playful pass-the-parcel–style game where a prize was passed around until the music stopped, adding laughter and excitement to the room.

Celebrations like this strengthen social wellness by fostering connection, inclusion, and joy. Sharing laughter, generosity, and holiday traditions together reminds us that the true magic of the season is found in community and togetherness.
