Christmas is so close we can smell the cookies and cocoa right now! With such limited time before the big day, you can rest assured that we are making the most of this jolly time of year to throw parties, make crafts and decorate wherever possible. 

Residents at Carolina Park (SC) have enjoyed a handful of exciting events over the last week, including a Christmas party and some Ho-Ho-Ho Bingo! It's always so heartwarming to see our Merrill family have so much fun while filling the community with big smiles and laughter.

Residents and team members in Renton (WA) also enjoyed a huge holiday party this week, and trust us, it had it all! Everyone enjoyed a delicious dinner of tenderloin steak, lobster, and eggnog cocktails while being surrounded by whimsical sparkling trees, beautiful centerpieces, and live piano music!

Our Merrill family in Bradenton (FL) had a few special visitors for the holidays as Saint Joseph's Catholic School's kindergarten and eighth-grade classes came by to perform. It's always amazing to see how communities come together during this time of year! 

Residents in Santa Maria (CA) and Tacoma (WA) had similar ideas, as they broke out all the tools for gingerbread houses and went to work! The process was super fun, a bit messy, and overall a delicious experience.

Turners Rock (MO) residents also got into the crafty holiday spirit as they customized a Christmas staple, wreaths! The process looked like so much fun and the end product turned out incredible.

We wish you health, happiness, and joy this holiday season! We hope you have time to spend with loved ones and share a few laughs during this cheerful time.
