CHRISTMAS CLIPS

Mom the Elf tries on her Christmas hat

Happy Elves: Martha, Joe and Mom

Mom opens her presents.

Christmas dinner 2007 was at Parkwood Court, where Mom has been living for more than a year now. She has trouble coping with being outside of Parkwood, so we've found that it's easier to go to her rather than trying to convince her to come out to stay with us. Besides, this way, NONE of us has to do the Christmas dinner dishes! And at 89, it's unlikely we'll ever get Mom to suddenly become a social butterfly. By staying in her comfort zone, it made Christmas enjoyable for everyone.

We were all quite festive in our Christmas hats. Even Mom got in the spirit of things and put one on. The dining room was very nicely decorated, the meal was great, and the atmosphere in general was quite festive. Lots of families in having dinner with parents and/or grandparents. All in all, a very pleasant afternoon!
