To all our wonderful residents , families and friends
On behalf of myself, the care coordinators and the clinical and care
staff, I would like to wish you the best possible Christmas and New Year.
Here are some thoughts and quotes I would like to share with you:
“Christmas isn't a season. It's a feeling." —Edna Ferber
"My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple:
loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas
to do that?" – Bob Hope
"I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year." –
Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
"No man is a failure who has friends." — It's a Wonderful Life
"I don't think Christmas is necessarily about things. It's about being good
to one another." — Carrie Fisher
"Christmas is a time when everybody wants his past forgotten and his
present remembered." – Phyllis Diller
"I heard the bells on Christmas Day / Their old familiar carols play / And
wild and sweet, the words repeat / Of peace on earth, goodwill to
men." – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
