Christmas Lunch with Carol singing

On December 20, RSCC residents were invited to gather in the beautifully decorated  Main Dining room for a lovely time of Carol singing led by staff wearing Santa hats. 

This would be followed by a delicious Christmas Lunch with all the trimmings.  The residents came to life as they heard the first strains of familiar and well-loved Christmas carols such as Silent Night, Away in the Manger, the first Noel, the little Drummer Boy, Once in Royal David’s City, and Joy to the World, to name a few. 

The carol session ended with the Christmas song, Felice Navidad, and as the staff sang the words:  “We want to wish you a Merry Christmas…….,” they scattered into the audience and presented each of the 160 residents with a chocolate Sweetie Pie, which they accepted with delight!  Then it was time to tuck into the salmon mousse,  roast lamb and gammon, veggies, and roast potatoes. 

And after all that, there was still room for Christmas trifle, which everyone agreed, was a wonderful way to end off a lovely afternoon with good food and fellowship with one’s friends and neighbours.
