Christmas is coming and at last there is reason for good cheer.
Last Christmas we never imagined how our lives, and the whole world, would be turned upside down, and that we would have to cope with uncertainty, fear, even death from a mysterious new disease.
Now, thanks to the miracle of a vaccine developed at break neck speed we can look forward to a few days at least to be cheerful and grateful.
I am so glad to be back in Sunrise for my second Christmas.
They certainly know how to make it merry and bright for the whole family here.
It started today with the lighting of the giant Christmas tree in the foyer, with mulled wine and minced pies, followed by a concert.
There will be a Christmas Eve party and on THE DAY a get-together with
music, a Christmas puzzle and to receive our Sunrise gift.
Over 10 days we will enjoy a programme of entertainment and special events, ending with
our New Year's Eve party.
The most welcome event for some of us, we hope, will
be to see our families, perhaps even in our own rooms, the first time for nine months.
Who knows, if we are lucky enough to have our vaccinations early, our
marvellous carers may even be unmasked. If not then that is another reason to
welcome the New Year. I can't wait.
