It has truly been “the twelve days of Christmas” at Beechwood this year, with one festive event after another. On Thursday, we held our monthly Resident Birthday Party 🥳🎂, with musical entertainment and not one, not two, but three special guest appearances. One of our residents (who we won’t name or show without express permission) joined our lovely entertainer on microphone for energized performances of the happy birthday song and Bob Seger’s Old Time Rock & Roll, while the other special guest — back with his full white beard and his iconic, jolly red suit — went room-to-room visiting residents who opted not to atted the party. Dear Santa also made an extended stop at the birthday party, receiving each resident individually for a photo and a wish, and then recited his favorite Christmas poem, “Twas the Night Before Christmas” (officially An Account of a Visit From St. Nicholas), by Clement Clarke Moore. Thank you to Nina and Angela of Hospice of Michigan for giving everyone’s favorite guest a ride to Beechwood while his sleigh is getting its annual tune up and shine before its world tour in just a couple of days! Here’s just a tiny sample of the photos taken with Santa. The Christmas poem recitation will be shared in a separate Reel.🎅🎄🛷
