On the 13th of December, we had a choir come in and perform a wide range of Christmas songs.
They all encouraged the residents to join in, and it was perfect for getting into the Christmas spirit, as they came later in the evening after the residents had all had dinner; the atmosphere was very calming as everyone enjoyed themselves in the relaxing atmosphere.
We made sure that all residents had the chance to join in by giving them instruments such as bells, tambourines and shakers, so even if they weren’t confident with singing along, everyone still got a chance to take part.
