Getting Crafty - Holiday Edition!

Written by The Team at Merrill Gardens | Dec 9, 2021 8:00:00 AM

Winter's knocking on the door, and with that comes all of the incredible holidays that bring so much joy and cheer every year! This week, residents all across the country broke out their crafting supplies and got into the festive spirit with some holiday-inspired decorations.

Residents and team members in Gilroy (CA) participated in a friendly competition as they had a holiday decorating contest! Whether they were handmade or bought, everyone got to work filling the community with all of their best festive flair. Seeing all of the decorations go up is one of our favorite times of the year!

Residents at Arbour Square (PA) brought out the paint as they customized some adorable wooden gingerbread houses. We love how these turned out, and they look like so much fun! We might need to pick some up for our own homes.

Our team in Bradenton (FL) decided to tap into a classic as everyone made their own unique paper snowflakes! After the crafts, each resident also got a tasty homemade milkshake to cap off the afternoon.

At River Park (TX), residents wanted a little something to spice up their doors, so naturally, they went with bright and colorful wreaths! It's always exciting to see the direction each person takes, and all the different styles when everyone is finished. 

From the Merrill family to yours, we hope you have an incredible holiday season. We look forward to sharing more of our activities during this exciting time of year!
