My, my... what a party we had Friday night.
70+ residents from the Commons gathered crammed into our community room. It was decorated beautifully, I might add thanks to 3 or 4 of the residents. We pretty much have lost our staff's interest in helping us out with anything but that's another story.
I've never seen so much food. People pitched in and bought and cooked and the woman in charge (Jean) got servers to come in and serve our buffet style dinner. We had turkey, ham and chicken (both fried and baked), sweet potatoes and white potatoes, gravy, cornbread dressing, green beans, lima beans, mac and cheese, deviled eggs, a fruit platter and enough desserts to feed an army. Oh, and of course, cranberry sauce. Can't leave that out... what's turkey and dressing without cranberry sauce.
We had door prizes. Santa can to visit along with Mrs. Claus and an elf or two.
All that was lacking was the singing of some carols. But, it was great.
I hope you have a ton of fun at your holiday gatherings.
It's a shame that your staff is so disinterested but that you have others to help out. What a great party for all to enjoy !
